Listrak Reviews

Listrak is a chaotic environment with toxic leadership. - They pressure their employees to give them good reviews. That is why you see the 5-stars and why they have the "Best Places to Work" thing. - The other reviews about toxic management are true. They are petty and try to tear you down instead of working with you to help you improve. They tell you they are always available to talk, but in reality that they only bully, intimidate, and lie. - This attitude seeps into the whole department and people are almost always unhappy. - No guidance, but also tie your hands. You will be micromanaged by people that have no idea how software engineering works. - Teams are forced to skip around to different projects, making it difficult to develop skills and write quality software. -They do not have a plan for feature development. - They do waterfall, but call it agile. - Their architecture and processes seem to intentionally slow you down and frustrate you. - The company is very right-wing. Your work here will directly support far right-wing messaging. (I am not sure if I am allowed to give exact examples.) - Do not trust their responses to Glassdoor reviews. They only know how to lie and manipulate.

Where do I start? The owner said 4 things in a recent all hands meeting: layoffs, we're going to do a lot more outsourcing, don't be surprised if you see your coworkers leaving (being fired), and use the time you're saving by working remote to work extra hours. He also said in a recent weekly update, that Christmas bonuses are going to stop. A week later, he bragged about how he and his family are going on vacation to Spain. This is how out of touch he is -- but considering that he wanted to be a hospital administrator when he was in college, that should tell you all you need to know. The CTO followed up the owners all hands meeting a week later, by saying that none of what the owner said was true. The CTO is responsible for more developers quiting than anything. He's just as out of touch and lies while smiling at you. One of his "morale boosters" is giving out these super lame "pins." Yes, cheesey pins like they made fun of as "flair" in the movie Office Space. They talk about DEI, yet out of 400 employees, there are only about 4 black employees. Based on the population in the US as a whole, there should be about 50. We hire from all over the country, so there's no excuse for this. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Outsourcing -- I haven't seen a new hired in a while who wasn't a contract/outsourced employee. They're even doing it in Sales now. I'm sure there won't be a developer in the US in another 6 months. It's sad what's happened to a once good company. I suspect that their moto is "the beatings will continue until morale improves."
