Great place to be - Manager PopSockets Employee Review

fun, fast moving company with good culture and ethics

Company is vegan, fast paced schedules can be hectic

Some great colleagues who genuinely try to do good work despite leadership.

ZERO role clarity. You will be hired for one thing and slowly forced into doing 3+ jobs without any discussion of a promotion, raise, or structural support. Leadership gaslights employees. Instead of acknowledging workload issues, they’ll tell you to “manage better” while piling on more work. Any request for help will be met with evasiveness, misdirection, or outright denial. Titles mean nothing. You’ll be expected to take on director-level work while still being labeled as a mid-level manager. If you ask for a title change to reflect your responsibilities, expect confusion, excuses, and no action. They do not recognize or reward contributions. You can be the reason cross-functional teams function at all, and still get no positive feedback, no performance-based promotions, and no clear growth path. Priorities are constantly shifting without leadership accountability. You’ll work on urgent, critical projects only to have them deprioritized with no explanation—yet somehow, all delays will still be your fault. Burnout is inevitable. They know you’re drowning in work, but instead of hiring more people or restructuring, they’ll gaslight you into thinking it’s normal.
