Pros

fun events and conferences organized

Cons

- the HR was friends with the manager and was giving bogus evaluations, wrong ROE and claims without following HR practices. - lots of overtime with no extra pay - managers don't know what they have to manage and don't use proper project management tools - pushing extra responsibilities with no extra pay - Traffic Management wants you to miss-represent your hours so you don't get paid more

Pros

Nothing positive to report.

Cons

Tiny Canadian agency that doesn't have a clue how to conduct business in the US. Nothing to gain working for this place. CEO is arrogant and talentless.

Thanks for taking the time to voice your opinion. Glassdoor is an anonymous review site which offers a great chance for us to listen to constructive criticism or sometimes just take a few shots across the bow when things dont' work out. Whether you resigned or were terminated, I do hope you were given a chance to have your voice heard through a formal exit interview. Constructive feedback is incredibly valuable and it is a regular topic during management meetings. We make it a point to measure and monitor employee satisfaction as a basic KPI for the business. I can't say that much can be learned from your commentary beyond some falsehoods thrown from behind a veil of anonymity. If you didn't have a chance to get an exit interview, please reach out to me and I can definitely make this happen. Sorry that Starshot wasn't the right agency for you and hopefully your next gig works out. Sometimes a necessary ending can be the catalyst for growth, both personally and professionally.
