SchoolStatus Reviews

Unlimited PTO means you leave and you've earned nothing. Bosses give a side eye at a time off request. A revolving door of management and employees. Very 'every man for himself' environment. Top-down management and overall abysmal communication by management. You never know if the information is in Slack, a Google Drive folder, an email, Asana, Loom, the corporate Wiki, or under a rock—the infrastructure is a mess. Every department runs independently. There is no COO. The CEO thinks he can do everything—CEO, COO, you name it. Due to that and the lack of a central, accessible voice, some teams are completely toxic—steer clear of marketing and sales leadership/teams. They hire out rather than mentoring and developing their current employees. There is no continuing education. There is little to no diversity, all white leadership except a few token Middle Eastern folks (all in IT) and one black lady. The CEO has said out loud in a meeting not to use terms like "equity."

Where to begin? I’ve been in the corporate world for over 15 years and have yet to experience such a terrible environment. There is zero training/onboarding, culture, or leadership visibility. Hilariously, they think that culture constitutes arguing in Slack about which Girl Scout cookie is best. It’s so pathetic. People are constantly worried for their jobs as there have been multiple random layoffs/firings in the last 6 months without any explanation to anyone about wtf happened—no notice that people are even gone. There’s hardly any development to the product and zero vision for integrating the multiple companies/products/IP that they’ve acquired. The leadership is completely hands off but that’s only because they have zero idea what they’re doing. When it comes time to trim the fat, they meet people for the first time while firing them. The sales team is such a joke. They’ll hire anyone. There isn’t even a marketing team. Please just don’t come here. You will regret it in today’s layoff-prone climate.
