Messy & Bad Recruitment

Recommend

Pros

- They try their best to be inclusive, which is great - There is a monthly all-hands meeting with the upper management & CEO and you are able to ask any questions or give anonymous feedback

Cons

- In my short time there, I noticed that there's a high turnover rate - with about close to 10 employees were either let go due to poor performance or closing offices. This shows bad management and training of the employees to get up to speed - Lack of proper / structured training given to new hires. In the first 2 weeks, the new hire will just be bombarded with meetings - You are expected to perform and produce results almost immediately - Team structure is created in such a way where performance and success is looked at individually instead of team

Pros

Operational people from every team and top management are compromised to work as a team, helping each other a lot - they know their businesses and are experts on their technical attributions. HR benefits are good, highlight to the mid-day work on Fridays without reduction on compensations nor vacations. Salary is industry average, but more on the positive side than neutral.

Cons

Adikteev is a growing company that basically hasn't left the startup feeling behind, so the company is messy when it comes to its organizational structure. Unsurprisingly, people turnover is also huge. To start, everything is based on Google sheet files and good luck trying to find the one you need or understanding how to exactly use it. They are not only using these for reports - instead of actually having systems working with an interface that you can comprehend, they are using Google sheets as tools for basically everything. When you join the company you will go through several overwhelming training sessions and you will not have the time to digest them, as you need to start delivering results right away. And as your day is packed with training meetings, you will not have time to actually work. They don't have a structured schedule for new comers, like first 2 months will be for training; on the 3rd and 4th month you will actually start working; between 5th and 7th month you are expected to start delivering results. Feedback is inexistent, you need to actively ask for it - what would be ok-ish, if it wasn't for the fact that they don't seem to be really interested on developing you the right path forward (more to come on that at the end of my comments). You are not questioned to provide feedback on them, either, despite of what they have claimed on responses to other negative reviews here at Glassdoor. If you have ideas to improve existing processes that need change, nothing is further discussed after a first draft is presented. With all that, the feeling is that you are not valued at all. And for the icing on the cake there's the account managers team's mid-management: the classic toxic boss without any leading skills. I will list some quick examples below. In order to remain ethical and constructive (and lengthwise, too), I will not go into a lot of details: Every other team within the company has its own attributions, responsibilities and deadlines to deliver their tasks - and everyone in the company seems to understand that we are dealing with people and there is empathy between the teams. However, when it comes to the customer success team, mid-management demands everything to be delivered right away. There's no prioritizing. When preparing client facing presentations, AM team's mid-management will review and demand changes on every single comma you used. This is done on a very regular basis and up to a few minutes before the meeting. During internal meetings, you are expected to know every single small detail that might be asked you about anything. If you don't know the answer and say you are going to check further, they focus on this instead of all the other positive things you brought. This is frequently done during team meetings and also during 1:1s. To wrap this review up, the company uses an enormous trial period of 7 months, so they can easily dismiss you even after you have joined a long time ago. They are still not providing feedbacks, not even on that moment. Instead, they just provide vague explanations, which corroborates the fact that they are not interested on developing you as a professional, and that the dismiss is due to some subjective judgement reason. So don't be surprised to get fired even if you are doing a good job and delivering results.
