LFG mindset is toxic (as explained in other peoples reviews)
End/Mid Year Reviews were a total joke. Reviews were conducted on Google Forms and not enough space or formatting to enter in everything correctly - it was also pretty short and sales-focused (only a handful of questions). They need a proper HR system like WorkDay to handle reviews/training. Also, I only had one actual review a few years ago (all others were skipped/not prioritized).
I had 5 different managers over my time at Arrive.
We went live with Accelerate (Our in house Software) with known issues (were forced to release early due to COVID), and a ton of reps didn't attend training. This caused us to "Firefight" issues throughout March-May and even through the rest of the summer. I worked many 60-80hr weeks fixing issues and while keeping up with the fast-paced business demands for new functionality. During this time, I received no (zero) personal recognition for my efforts from my management, while other team members received promotions and personal recognition. (I did receive recognition from my colleagues and stakeholders/sales reps which helped improve my morale during stressful times)
They did a complete overhaul of the tech team over the last year. They have hired some solid managers and team members. However, 90% or more of all hires made in the last year have come from the same company (or close connection to that company). It has created a culture where the longer-term team felt like outsiders (I wasn't the only person who felt this way), and there is a "click" created with the people who were apart of the previous company.
Lastly, The way I was let go was upsetting. It was a 2min meeting (disguised as my 1v1) were my manager just told me that my position was eliminated. I asked why and HR stepped gave their HR lingo, and my manager didn't say a word. Ice cold for a "People First Organization" (other former co workers explained a similar type of meeting when they got let go).
I worked hard for years and had so much business knowledge/experience and relationships with the business built up and had data proving I was making an impact in many different ways. After I was let go, many of my teammates reached out that they were shocked that I was let go and didn't understand/agree with the decision.
