Run Away - Employee Darcy Partners Employee Review

Darcy Partners has several major issues that make it an impossible place to work: - Inappropriate Nepotism: There are people at the company who have been appointed to positions for which they are not qualified due to their familial relationships with upper management. Their incompetence damages the company and its product. - Turnover: Darcy does hire high achievers with great work experience and good educational backgrounds. Yet, despite being able to identify good talent, the turnover at Darcy Partners is embarrassingly high. Almost no one lasts longer than a year. People are chewed up and spit out by this company. - Lack of Accountability from Leadership: Leadership consistently skip or are late to meetings. When they show up, they are staring at their phones half the time, don't pay attention, and provide no real guidance. If guidance is given, it will often contradict something they have previously said, leaving the team confused and frustrated. They take no responsibility for this chaos and it will ultimately be blamed upon you. - Lack of Follow Through: Leadership loves to use surveys to measure the satisfaction of staff/the company. Every month they go over the results and the same pain-points exist, yet they do nothing. This is a pattern at Darcy, all talk and no action. - Lack of Emotional Intelligence: Whether it's clients bored on their phones at company events or the staff struggling with burnout, leadership does not possess the emotional intelligence to read a situation and recognize when things need to change. - Too many bosses: For a company of this size (~25 employees), they have too many wanna-be junior executives and very few boots on the ground workers who execute projects for the company. - You will be expected to be a drone: Leadership does not care what you think, independent thought is not valued, and company shortcomings are swept under the rug rather than addressed for the betterment of the product/staff. Ultimately, working at Darcy Partners is a downer. Mid and upper level management are negative, toxic, and insecure. Don't expect any training, guidance, or professional development. Run away.
