Scamming employees and clients - Anonymous employee ConversionIR Employee Review

The one redeeming feature of this company is that you would have the opportunity to meet top talent. As a result, you would have had the opportunity to do some interesting and challenging work, that would teach you a lot. But other than that, there is no real upside to working at the company.

The CEO promised an illegally low wage to almost all employees. In addition, he did not even pay that when asked giving seemingly arbitrary reasons for the payment being delayed. If you work for the company do not count on being paid, by the CEO regardless of what he says. The CEO also will try to deceive you with reasons why you are not paid this time. All of these reasons are false and are only him trying to find an excuse for not paying you on time. He will not pay you. Any posting that this company or its subsidiaries provide that include estimated compensation is to be treated with extreme suspicion. Such compensation will not be received. The company will also demand near full-time hours from you in the form of its various projects, despite not paying you anything. The entire business strategy is to squeeze top talent dry for as long as they can get away with hit. There are numerous spinoffs of this company that exist, most notably NXTAnalytic and CoronaStocks. All of these companies are controlled by the same CEO and are to be treated with the same caution. Bottom line is that you should under no circumstance not work for this company unless you are willing to treat it as an unpaid internship.

There are no best reasons to work at ConversionIR or any of its offshoots (which include: NXTAnalytic and Corona Stocks) . That said, the work can be interesting and the colleagues very intelligent - including the CEO himself. You will learn something. So, if you happen to have a load of cash in a savings account and need not worry about how to pay your bills, or if you take on a job at ConversionIR in the understanding that it's like an internship, I would recommend the experience.

The main reason to avoid the temptation to accept a lucrative and prestigious sounding job at ConversionIR is the same as everyone else has pointed out here. There are no guarantees that you will receive the salary that is stipulated in your contract. In fact, I never once received it in full - sometimes you get some, but you can't count on it. Some reviewers have talked of the CEO in terms of 'Scammy'. I don't think it's that bad. I think the issue is more that he is a major risk taker and overly optimistic. He hires great people in the expectation of finding financing or building revenue quickly, and predictably he fails. Most companies get the money they need to hire a team sorted out first. Essentially, if you take on a job at ConversionIR, be ready to moonlight to make sure you have some cash coming in.
