Nightmare Organization - Micromanagement to an extreme level - Anonymous employee Obsidian Group Employee Review

Free coffee, sometimes free food

The list goes on. For starters, if you don’t like micromanagement, I would stay clear. If you are a human and might make a slight mistake here or there, be prepared to get an earful. I’ve been in one-on-one meetings with high ups where I would be berated for over an hour just because there was a spelling mistake or a low quality image. My last meeting I was told directly by a higher up “it’s only a matter of time before you quit or you get fired” regarding the longevity of the job. I then proceeded to quit as I refuse to live in constant fear that I may lose my livelihood any moment. People there have all their emails printed out and highlighted because they live in fear that they will be next in the blame game they like to play, so you always have to have back up prepared to prove that you’re innocent. I’ve heard more tears than laughter. Some departments are the scapegoats for the higher ups and will always be the reason for everything that goes wrong in the company. They refuse to take accountability but tell everyone else that they are like that. They will force you to apologize for things you didn’t do, and when you do, they then berate you over it. People are on edge every day for the next shoe to drop. I can only speculate but from experience, I’d say that the positive reviews here are strongly $encouraged$. Leaving obsidian was the best thing I ever did for my career, and mental & physical well being.

Management, coworkers, hours, workload, benefits

I have nothing bad to say
