Promising product, lackluster leadership - Anonymous employee Assembled Employee Review

There’s a reason there aren’t many reviews from current employees, even though the company attempted to get people to add some. Assembled has cultivated a culture that is tense. Employees who have been with the company the longest are the only ones with real job security, and there is a marked favoritism towards those who are friends with those people. The company isn’t afraid to let people go in the name of saving money, while the CEO’s continue pocketing money from investors. The CEO’s, particularly Ryan want a group of people who will do exactly what they say and what they want. This includes agreeing with their choices even with little to no explanation (example: huge leadership changes over night, teams almost completely let go, etc) or doing what they want like going to the office instead of committing to making remote work better. There is a marked lack of employees who have lasted over a year, either leaving themselves or being let go by leadership. This company has a lot of promise but the leadership is incredibly frustrating. There’s no proper mentorship, or growth opportunities. Everyone is very passionate but at the end of the day passion will not make up for unhappy customers, and unhappy customers will continue to happen if employees cannot feel secure in their jobs.
