Loud Rumor Reviews

- Management preaches that you can grow, but really tests you and dangles growth positions with no clear idea of when that could happen. This also happens with raises - Members of the team would be secretly offered cash or other incentives to learn a new skill and would be awarded publicly by CEO to prove a point - CEO was never in office and cared more about building his social media presence - Employees were constantly reprimanded in public - The 2 managers were essentially running the company and 1 of them was not doing it well - CEO was looking to move the company to Anthem (30 mins from current location) and lied to employees when asked - Management preached being open and honest with them, but would manipulate and twist the situation to make it as if it was your fault - Several people quit in a matter of 3 months... 5 employees which is close to 1/3 of the company - Favoritism was very evident - The success of the company was always put on us and we were never good enough. The CEO once said " people know when they are doing a good job, I don't really need to tell them" - 2 employees gave their notice and were not allowed to tell anyone until the CEO could have a meeting in which they were not allowed to be in and had to leave the office in the middle of the day - Management would lie to protect the integrity of certain employees while throwing others under the bus - Meetings could be extremely degrading and negative

My experience working at Loud Rumor was stressful and had me constantly on edge. The CEO is incredibly unorganized, and he frankly acts childish if he does not get his way. If anything goes wrong it is always someone else’s fault. He cannot take accountability for his own actions. There is a bit of a boys’ club as well. When I put in my 2 weeks’ notice, the CEO just ignored me. I had meetings scheduled with him, and he simply would not show up (wasting mine and the company’s time). He stopped answering my calls or responding to my messages. He also didn’t say goodbye - just ghosted me. He claims to be direct but he’s very passive aggressive and condescending. The CEO also made it very clear that everyone is disposable and that as teams grow you will also outgrow most of your employees... I would get calls at 8pm, long after I’d logged off for the day and was out, and would get calls just barking orders at me to do things - as though I just live at my computer. I thought I left on a good note, but the CEO’s childish treatment and complete disrespect when I put in my notice prompted me to write this review. The Senior Account Managers and CFO really carry the team. Without them the whole place would crumble.
