Run for the hills - Anonymous employee Olivela Employee Review

I strongly advise against working for Olivlea. This was easily the worst job I have ever had. What I thought would be my dream job quickly turned into a nightmare working with poor management in a dumpster fire of constant fire drills and changing, conflicting priorities. The culture is extremely volatile, manipulative, and toxic. It's a mean girls club that will chew you up and spit you out if you are not in favor. Olivela should be ashamed of their employee retention and lack of empathy. Unless you are one of the select favorites of the CEO your contribution will not matter, and you’ll be gaslight and gossiped about openly. There’s also a huge rift between the American and British employees. If you’re someone who prides themselves on doing good, impactful work, forget it. No one knows what they’re doing here and all priorities are subject to change at the drop of a hat. There are times where the company does nothing as everyone waits for money to come in from the next investor. When the company is funded for a couple of months, all hell breaks loose. I was scared to get lunch or take a quick break out of fear for being reprimanded for not replying sooner. Managers are encouraged to micromanage to an insane degree for a company with as many employees and projects as it has. Your experience in your field is seen as irrelevant, and if you voice concerns you will have a target on your back. Do yourself a favor and run for the hills.
