Riding the waves in a startup - Director Zartico Employee Review

Good people, policies and products. It’s a start up environment and only self starters with egos on check will be successful. That’s a good thing but not for everyone. The work is novel and requires discipline and open minds. Cool opportunities.

The company grew fast and built the infrastructure by staffing to build which is done and that has meant layoffs. There’s been confusion with some employees not realizing it’s a start up.

Work from home gives flexibility

Mismanagement of the company by the CEO and entire SLT who have no basic understanding of how to deliver a tech solution. We have experienced numerous layoffs this year and after each one we are told that if we survived, we are on the bus only to see more layoffs shortly follow. After this last one it is clear things are dire and it is time to find a new job. The CEO, a self admitted failure in all aspects of her life, is lashing out at employees under the pressure. She is unable to come to terms with how her poor leadership and constant pivoting in the wrong direction have now put us in a situation where we only have a smoke and mirrors solution to peddle in an attempt to make year end numbers. There is no product there! It is really ironic she was giving company wide leadership training. Our CIO and COO have overinflated egos who bully their way into solutions that consistently fail and have been a contributing factor in the company's demise. I’m not sticking around to watch this place go down in flames.
