There are systemic problems at FLYR right now (and for at least the past 9+ months):
- The CEO does directly pressure employees to post positive reviews on Glassdoor, as a previous poster mentioned. He’s asked me and several of my teammates to do so. So take those glowing reviews with a grain of salt, and try to connect with people who have actually worked here before you consider joining. The toxicity is real.
- Executive leadership has very little emotional intelligence and generally have no idea how to lead people. Which is kind of important for executive leaders to know how to do. They can’t lead people. That’s not good.
- Loud voices who drink the Kool-Aid and “speak airline industry” have a disproportionate influence that suppresses a growing crew of technical talent who just want to contribute and grow.
- I have never experienced a culture of micromanagement like this. It’s so ingrained in the FLYR way that you start to think it’s normal. It’s not normal, and it’s nightmarish. Starting from the CEO himself, it cascades down. If you want to feel empowered and inspired to contribute and innovate, you’ll be miserable here.
