Cons
Nightmare narcissistic management. Will screw you over at any opportunity and cannot keep employees due to horrible management practices and abuse. Gaslighting, deceit, high school politics hierarchy. If you are unfortunate enough to work for these people, do not trust any of them, especially the ones who ask you to trust them.

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the pros of working at Archetype SC, such as our flexible schedule and fast-moving culture. We understand your concerns regarding larger contracts and want to provide some context. At the time, we experienced the unfortunate loss of a significant contract due to a leadership change on the client’s end, which was beyond our control. This did result in a reduction in staff, and we’ve since made important changes to our approach to new business. Now, we are careful not to take on contracts that would account for such a large portion of the business without contingency plans in place.
We appreciate your input and are continuously learning from these experiences to build a more resilient and stable company. Your feedback helps us strengthen our planning and ensure a more secure future for our employees. Thank you again for your time with us, and we wish you all the best moving forward.
