Lillio Reviews

1) HiMama is a toxic environment, the entire culture revolves around the sales team and their high performers. If you aren't on the sales team, it's hard to feel as if your successes matter to anyone, regardless of the hours/effort you put in. If you are on the sales team, you're only recognized for the extra hours/time you put in. 2) A lot of the office culture revolves around partying and alcohol, while they did start offering non-alcoholic beverages at company events - the theme of most gatherings was to still get drunk. It can be very alienating and hard to feel like you fit in if you aren't getting drunk at company events. 3) There is no support for junior employees across departments - it's a struggle to succeed if you're junior with not a ton of previous work experience in literally any department. If you come in as a junior employee, you will be made to feel bad about that. 4) Management is out of touch with reality and frankly, do more harm than good. If I had met with the CTO prior to joining HiMama - I would not have accepted a job offer. 5) There is no people operations or HR - as such, there is no way to report problematic behavior. 6) The CEO solicits Glassdoor reviews from new hires or people who have made it to the 3 month mark. I do feel that those reviews are genuine but regardless they are solicited while you're employed.

Toxic workplace. Layoffs all the time, zero job security. Culture of fear. Everybody is worried. Senior leadership team is horrible, new CEO is horrible, they fill all the senior roles with their friends from their previous company. Senior leadership is also extremely fiscally irresponsible, spending hundreds of thousands on an entirely unnecessary rebranding and on a company-wide offsite, only to lay high-performing staff off a few months later due to budgetary concerns. Questions about poor decision-making are seen as questioning authority. And when asked questions about diversity in senior leadership team, they shed tears and accuse employees of racism. Epitome of white fragility. And yes, they are all white or white-passing and that's not racist to say, no matter how much it breaks their hearts and makes them sad. Turned a proud Canadian company into a shameful American one. :(
