Leavy Reviews

- Micromanagement Senior leadership micromanaged a lot of ground-level tasks, disrupting the initial signed-off strategy. Because of this, the product offering flipped and flopped day by day, delivery was rushed, and deadlines were rarely made. Unfortunately, an employee’s past experience or results elsewhere meant little. I would suggest to senior leadership that you hire talent that you trust to make departmental and team decisions, so you can focus on the overall business strategy. - Bureaucratic Leadership Unusually for a start-up, leadership is bureaucratic, with little opportunity to provide feedback for change. I saw first hand how the company censors constructive employee feedback and deletes messages from Slack it does not approve. - Exploited employees Entry-level professionals starting out their career here are motivated by inspiring brand values and working together to make something special, but the reality of low wages, overnight and weekend working and even sleeping in the office, unfortunately, does not match up.

First, be careful with reviews that are either super-enthusiastic or super-negative. If there is no in-between, there is a problem. Leavy.co is a company for people who are new to the work world, and therefore have no reference point or opinion. In a startup, you should be able to express yourself and have an impact. This is not the case here, unless you become close 'friends' with the management team. You'll soon understand that the looks and the relationships you create in the company is all that really matters. Act cool, or pretend to be cool. This will reveal to be more important than expertise, dedication and ideas. Employee's well-being and social life are to be sacrificed: it seems to be very okay at Leavy.co to sleep at the office, or finish your day at 10 or 11pm. Worst thing is, it has never proven to increase efficiency and productivity in the company. The management team is also pretty new to the work world, and rather immature. Don't except contructive feedback, but do expect (a lot of) opinions on your work, even though the people who make those remarks have no idea about what you're doing.
