Toxic culture - Anonymous employee HAUS LABORATORIES Employee Review

Since I joined, the culture here has been amazing - managers and leadership are supportive and smart, and I feel celebrated often. I have heard that culture was toxic before, but there was a mass exodus and all the new hires are amazing in my opinion. I enjoy the flexible remote work and the small teams.

Budgets are small/tight, but with big expectations which can be tough Some processes need tightening and restructuring and can be disorganized, due to start-up culture

Fun holiday parties every year, benefits aren't too bad, flex time off, diversity in the workplace, dog friendly office.

Where do I even begin... all of senior leadership/C-Suite is a mess - most of them constantly bully their subordinates with 0 repercussion. Nothing is merit-based here, it all depends on if your Manager/Dept Head likes you or not. Amazing people are laid off with no warning or explanation, except for the obvious mistreatment of their manager days/weeks leading up to it, while terrible and unqualified people stay employed just to be a warm body and everyone else is overworked as a result. Terrible/non-existent raises/promotions, horrible work culture. You are always doing something wrong in their eyes which warrants the terrible/non-existent raises/promotions. If you get a promotion, its less than a 10% raise. 0 company culture, no team/department bonding. Everyone is looking for someone else to blame instead of working together to solve roadblocks. No one listens to lower level employees.
