Perpetuated Company Culture is Blind to Reality
Pros
Smaetwebs provides standard health insurance plans, reliable biweekly pay, and regular hours w/minimal overtime. PTO is offered with flex time options as needed. There are some wonderful members of the team that are great to be around.
Cons
No equality- if you’re “in” with leadership you are heard and get perks like a higher pay rate for subpar skills or extra pto days from point of hiring. Nepotism runs wild. Compared to other tech companies in the Austin, TX area they underpay employees, have subpar benefits. No 401 k, dental and vision. No paternal or maternal leave. Leadership wants the team back in office to keep up with company culture but doesn’t realize their own toxic leadership pushes people away to the point of quitting and causes mental health issues with their team including anxiety, depression and burnout. They ask for feedback but only want it if it aligns with what they have in their mind. Executive leadership continually drops the ball on what managers and employees really want and need from a job. Leadership forces you to have quarterly goals that are outside your normal job requirement so you bring value to th company instead of measurable KPI’s.
