innRoad Reviews

Let me preface this by saying I almost never write reviews, even after negative experiences, but given the obviously fake positive reviews the company has been posting, I believe that it is only fair for a job seeker to understand what they’re signing up for if they agree to spend 45 hours of their life here each week. This place is like a Harvard Business Review case study on ineptitude. The company is run by this little management boys club of 3-4 guys who don’t trust anyone, so there is a laughable lack of transparency between departments and nobody really knows if the company has a vision. The CEO petulantly walks in circles around the office rather than doing anything constructive to work towards improving the software, which looks and functions like it was built in 1996 and thus naturally has no market outside of roadside motels in Trump country. The office is probably on the worst intersection in Manhattan (36th and 8th ave literally across from a Taco Bell “cantina” lol) and features awful fluorescent lights and hardly any windows. Dare you want to work from a conference room to see the light for a few hours during an afternoon? The entire company will receive a listserv email reminding them to work from their desks. Yeah….it’s that bad.

Lack of Respect for Employees People in the organization with original ideas are quickly squashed into submission by leadership. No idea that was created by anyone other than the three men on the executive team will be respected. Sexist This was stated in a previous review, and it's completely true. Women are treated as second class citizens and that is clear when you walk into the frat house environment. Smart women won't even apply to work here. Culture of Lies From the minute you meet the CEO he will lie to you about his vision for the organization and your position in it. He lies to get you on board and then turns around and tells you that your ideas don't matter because he is in charge, and only his ideas will be needed. The lies don't just stop with the CEO. Quickly, you will learn that people lie about deadlines, about the product functionality and about how great this place is to work. Compensation People are paid poorly and the "benefits" are terrible compared to other startups in NYC. Work/Life Balance There is a terrible PTO policy. You are expected to work from 9-6 and pressured to rarely take lunch away from your desk. There are constant demands on your time before and after hours. There is also no paid leave policy for mothers or new parents, which probably doesn't matter because it's basically a frat house.
