Stay away - Anonymous employee Bowery Farming Employee Review

The management at this company is the absolute worst. They've been so focused on expanding the farm and hiring a ton of people, but their management style is just terrible—way too corporate, especially for a startup. And let me tell you, the HR department is a nightmare. They never show up and refuse to negotiate anything, whether it's salary, benefits, or even the severance package. But that's not all. More than 70% of the employees are white males, so you can hardly get any promotion as other groups, and the company couldn't care less about its people. They treat their employees like crap. Just take a look at the old reviews—they actually expected employees with pregnant family members to show up at the office three days a week without any regard or adjustments during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. Many people had to quit because the CEO basically said, "It's your problem, not ours." And guess what? This year, during the layoffs, they let go of pregnant coworkers and those who had only two months left to apply for an H1B visa. They don't give a damn about people. Oh, and get this—they wouldn't even provide COVID tests in the office when the new strain was spreading like crazy. The head of HR had the audacity to tell us to buy our own tests from nearby pharmacies. Can you believe it? Save yourself the trouble and stay away from this heartless company. All they care about are their precious crops. BTW, HRs created fake 5-star reviews.
