Avegen - Candid Look - Designer Avegen Employee Review

Avegen used to be a vibrant and energetic place to work. It boasted a flexible work environment. However, in recent times, the company has undergone a significant shift. Many of the squad leaders and members of the leadership team have left the company, leaving a void in mentorship and guidance. The company's once-celebrated flexibility has become more theoretical than practical. While Avegen claims to be flexible, it seems reluctant to implement policies that truly reflect this value. For example, benefits of WFH or hybrid work options are not at all allowed. Furthermore, Avegen has recently implemented a time-tracking system, leading to feelings of distrust and micromanagement among employees. Many feel that their work is no longer valued based on quality and output, but rather on the number of hours spent in the office. The company's expectations of its employees seem increasingly unrealistic. They expect designers to excel in both UI/UX and visual design, and developers to be "full stack" experts. This creates a lot of pressure on employees and fails to acknowledge individual strengths and preferences. To add to the growing discontent, Avegen has been experiencing silent layoffs. While the company hasn't openly acknowledged these layoffs, the constant departure of employees speaks volumes. In fact, reports suggest that up to 70% of the current workforce is actively looking for new jobs. Avegen appears to be losing its appeal as a desirable workplace. The lack of transparency, unclear expectations, and rigid policies are pushing employees away. If you're looking for a supportive and flexible environment, it might be wise to look elsewhere.
