Bird Reviews

Isn't that sad? That the only 'pros' to working in this company is that they offer WFH benefit for employees? Everything else from the management team to the top leaders are horrible. The team's morale and I'm pretty sure everyone else within the company is very low, I've lost count of how many layoffs they've done this year alone, some even done quietly until we find out ourselves days later. I have to agree with one of the reviews here, this company has turned 'soulless'. There's no culture at all, they try to act like they have one but no, they don't. Actually, I can think of 1 culture the company has - toxic, thanks to the CEO. There's no room for employees to be themselves or to express/communicate with team members since they've also cancelled/started controlling every single slack channels created. We get the work from home benefit but CEO wants an office environment kind of workplace - setting unrealistic requirements to WFH set up like making us clock in only 30 mins of break, it doesn't even affect the actual working hour time but of course the CEO has to control even that. The CEO is probably just too cheapskate to rent offices but wants everyone to adhere to how an office would run normally. All decision comes from the CEO, in short, he micromanages every little thing he can get his hands on. & every week we have new changes, either to how he wants the company to run blablabla, he changes his mind every 5 sec, my child doesn't even need a nappy change that fast in a day. You won't be able to sleep peacefully at night cause you won't know for sure what would happen to you tomorrow (since they also lay off colleagues who are performing). You're constantly in a state of worry, worrying if you'll have a job tomorrow, worrying if you'll have to follow any new changes tomorrow, worrying if the CEO will suddenly get pms and then decide to change the whole direction of the company etc. If you like this kind of thrill, then you'd probably like the CEO as a person and the company.

Egotistical managers who don't know the products, but they try their best to pretend to be. What is first class customer experience if you don't even care about your employees? This is exactly the reason why MessageBird has such a high turnover rate for its support team
