Candid Reviews

Candid is a start-up which began in 2018. Candid's co-founders are young, charming, Ivy-League alums with an ability to secure investment capital. Unfortunately, their skills did not extend to break-even cost analysis, general accounting principles, cost-benefit analysis, or any additional skills needed to maintain and grow a viable business. In the fourth quarter of 2019, Candid leased and paid the extra cost to modernize three floors of an historic downtown building. Additionally, leadership outfitted the building with electrically adjustable desks for each employee. Similarly, the company's New York City office space was upgraded. These actions would indicate a company that is growing and anticipating future growth. However, three months later, in January 2020, the magnitude of the financial difficulty Candid was actually experiencing was felt when leadership laid-off 50% of their staff in one day with no prior notification. Candid leadership, and management, are no longer trusted by the staff who remain. Candid management is manipulative, calculating, duplicitous, and amoral. They focus solely on self-interest and personal gain. Leadership and management routinely lie, and when the lie is revealed the response given is, “things change.” This distrust makes for an unpleasant work day and environment. Before working here it is recommended that you read former and current reviews of this business, as well as patient reviews.

They don't set employees up for success. No upwards mobility and poor communication between departments. Questioning management puts you on the line for insubordination and possible pink card.
