Pros

Table and Chair provided for work. Minimum wage paycheck every 2 weeks. Only Splenda at the kitchen. CEO and Execs are kind enough to remind employees in all meetings to write good GD reviews. If you enjoy watching someone use mediocre NLP skills on unsuspecting innocents purely in order to induce self-destruction and mutual backstabbing, you have definitely come to the right place. Best place for schadenfreude ever. If you manage to quit before you are fired you have won at life!

Cons

It's quite possible that you will witness someone truly losing it there. Unless you enjoy that sort of thing, it's hard to believe that you would be happy at Aera. Bonuses and advancement potential exist only in theory, unless you are from the CEOs last company. The CEO is a megalomaniac, who screams at employees for every little thing. You might be asked to do something that compromises your ethics, if you have any. Abusive management from the Execs. Low employee morale. Zero training or direction. Extremely high turnover; many customers and employees left on their own.

Pros

Flexible hours exist, but the benefit is pointless when everything else about the company drags you down.

Cons

Working at Aera Technology became unbearable because the leaders were consumed with their own egos. The attitude from the top was smug, dismissive, and completely indifferent to the people doing the actual work. Employees were treated like afterthoughts, feedback was brushed aside, and any opinion that did not flatter the higher-ups was ignored. The behavior from the top created a miserable atmosphere where respect simply did not exist.

Thank you for your review. We take all feedback seriously whether it is positive or constructive. While this perspective contrasts with our internal feedback, we continue to review input as part of our efforts to foster a positive employee experience. It appears that you have already departed from Aera but if you are willing and interested in discussing your experience further and share some additional context, our Chief People Officer would be happy to listen.
