Toxic and going downhill fast - Anonymous employee Code and Theory Employee Review

- Like another review said, the company ALWAYS has a fire drill mentality when it comes to projects. It's hard to keep clients in check when it comes to expectations and there are extremely tight timelines. Quality of work is low due to quick project turnaround expectations and poor project management. Quantity and speed is given more importance than quality and craftsmanship. Late nights and weekend work is unavoidable. For a digital design agency - their design style is quickly becoming old fashioned and unoriginal. - Leadership doesn't care about employees, great benefits such as unlimited PTO and half-day Friday's that made the stressful work feel bearable have been taken away giving around 15 days of PTO in a year including sick days (unlimited vacation still remains for upper management). Employee healthcare plans are expensive and bad. No bonuses or other incentives. - Deceptive recruitment strategy, you are initially told when hired that performance reviews happen very frequently (every 4 months) and you are constantly rewarded for good work - doesn't happen. Performance happen every year and are constantly delayed by SEVERAL months and the review process doesn't make any sense. Promotions and raises are hard to get even after great performance and hard work. - Felt like they were doing cutting edge work and actively working on making work-life balance better for employees a few years ago but now has started to go downhill very fast.
