HEXO Reviews

- completely inept management - company near bankruptcy - continued layoffs - nepotism - bullying from the executive team. You just need to sit in one meeting with the so called COO This is a good example of what happens when children are left to run a company. The two founders should have stepped away as soon as the company went public because they don’t and never had ANY competency to manage a business of the scope and size of HEXO. They spent more time last summer building cottages, buying boats, throwing infused dinner parties and buying audio equipment than they did actually in the office or paying attention to their business. They checked out the minute they became nouveau riche with others money, and never took the time to put the right experienced packaged goods executives in place while still spending recklessly with little checks and balances until it was too late.

- Senior Management is incapable, the new CEO loves layoffs and uses them as the solution to all of his problems; conspicuously, while there are layoffs and shortage of resources all over the place, the finance team is getting bigger and bigger - while in other companies, the senior management cuts their salaries by 50% to avoid layoffs, the HEXO senior leadership continues to not give a damn - the repeating layoffs are ruining the culture, friendships, collegiality and creating the culture of overworking, poor work-life balance and unpaid overtime - the company values are supposed to be PEOPLE, PLANET, PROFIT, but in reality, it is PROFIT, PROFIT, PROFIT - they just lay off your colleagues and expect you to manage the same amount of work in one person without the increase in pay reflective of the increase in responsibilities
