PACIFIC will take on clients who expect everything under the sun that are not willing to pay for the services. Employees and the ELT call some of the clients "pizza money" because that's how little they pay for services. The CEO doesn't care about this because he's obsessed with having top brand names in his wheelhouse, even if it means the company has to bleed money or employees. Meanwhile, departments are not given the resources needed to complete the best work possible, and the company's reasoning for not supporting employees is "we're a startup. we can't afford this."
I'll confirm that the previous posts about the C-level employee are accurate. This person is known very well at PACIFIC for making employees (especially women) feel stupid in their area of expertise, harassing employees that try to speak their mind, among other things...I watched this person place glass ceilings over women in leadership positions time and time again. Women in the office are told by their managers to go home once it gets late on the nights that this person is still at the office so they're not left alone with him. I witnessed this same employee verbally harass both male and female employees repeatedly, by cursing them, belittling them, and threatening to fire them. As for my personal experiences with this C-level employee, they asked questions in my interview, including my age and relationship status. While this may not be outlined as a "don't" in the company's "Expected Behaviors," it is against the law. And the company's previous response, where it states "prior to this anonymous posting and going back several years, PACIFIC has received no complaints or reports of harassment or discrimination," is false. There was at least one sexual harassment incident that was reported directly to HR within the last few years.
