great colleagues, awful leadership - Digital Producer CT Employee Review

Pretty unbelievable review to be honest. Based on the tone, I'm going to have to assume this individual has some axe to grind with the company outside of what they've presented here. Some reality checks: We do not 'extol' grind culture. We do require that people show up and work a full shift, but we also require that they don't exceed that. We actively try and discourage people working excessive hours, working during time off, or working in unhealthy patterns. We accommodate flex scheduling, work from anywhere, and more to ensure people can balance life and work healthily. Most team members are only asked to have 80% of their time billed to clients- the rest we recommend putting towards personal training, team activities/engagement, and more. For team members who are consistently working within those ranges, they have nothing to be concerned about. Coalition outscores most tech companies and agencies for real DEI metrics. Our pay rates, leadership make up, team makeup, and opportunities for advancement create space for individuals to grow because we emphasize performance as a determinant rather than bias. We do hire internationally and we do adjust base pay rates for COL in the areas we hire for. That's not discriminatory, that's economics. The individual who wrote this review may have done so on an Android or Apple phone built overseas using materials produced or mined overseas, and then manufactured and shipped to the US because of those same economics. I'm guessing their clothes, furniture, apps they use, etc, all rely on similar economics. Perhaps they support the major tariffs proposed by our incoming President to ensure that the United States does not unfairly take advantage of lower costs of goods or services elsewhere? One of the great things for Coalition's international team members is that our bonus policies are not COL adjusted- everyone globally has the chance to earn the same performance bonuses and incentives which can result in significant pay increases each year. It's disappointing to see such unabashedly biased and vitriolic comments coming from someone who purportedly still works here and has for four years. That in and of itself feels illogical. We would strongly suggest resigning and seeking out a workplace that is more aligned with your points of view.
