      Appalling Treatment of Employees - AVOID - Operations Manager PerchPeek Employee Review

      Pros

      - Unlimited holiday. - Salary is reasonable-ish and pay rises can be negotiated. - Promotions were possible and there is room to move around within the company. - Nice colleagues, I made some good friends.

      Cons

      - Upper middle management are two faced, spiteful and unprofessional. - Extreme micromanagement. - Fire people on the regular with little to no warning and for no good reason. - Some teams are so overworked whilst others have nothing going on. - Management make employees feel worthless and like they're never good enough. - Working harder doesn't get you anywhere, if they decide they don't like you, you're done regardless of your professionalism and hard work. - If you're put on a PIP (performance improvement plan) - start searching for another job and don't bother trying to complete the PIP, this is how they fire you the easy way. - I've seen colleagues so stressed out they cry every day and get signed off and then treated terribly over it. - You work over your hours every day without fail and without compensation. - Not transparent about anything at all ever. You find out you're fired by being locked out of your accounts and other people know you're fired before you do. - Mental health, what's that? They don't care. They pretend to - but literally do not and will probably find a way to fire you because of it. - If you accidentally get on the wrong side of someone in management, they'll do whatever they can to get you fired even if you've literally done nothing wrong. Textbook example of a mismanaged, toxic work environment. Don't let the unlimited holidays and happy family cult culture entice you.

      - Fantastic leadership - Teammates and Leadership value your opinion (very safe place to be vocal and challenge) - Everyone is so quick to take action when needed - Personal life and work/life balance is valued - This team is so bought into the PerchPeek mission, direction, and goals - Pay and benefits are very competitive - The relocation market is massive with lots of opportunity for PerchPeek to continue to grow and disrupt the market - The people are genuinely so amazing and love to have fun even in the midst of working relentlessly

      Cons

      - Bandwidth has been stretched at times but leadership is taking action to resolve - This industry can be challenging to learn if you aren't familiar with it

      Pros

      company retreat and remote work policies were generous and made for a great culture on the surface, pay was fine, very nice people

      Cons

      management seemed weirdly desperate to avoid confrontation. nobody was ever on the same page and sales/product strategy changed constantly main complaint: the overly cheery company culture concealed a lot of conflicts that it would have been healthier to have out in the open. actual vibe was definitely above average for a startup (mostly due to the people), but weirdly, more people at PP seemed eager to privately express their dislike of each other. I think that’s sadly a direct result of the culture. it all just felt a bit immature. it was obvious for months that they needed to massively downsize but the way they handled it in the end was really weird - reading a script by HR and then cutting account access. maybe it’s just “how things are done”, but then what was the point of pretending to be different? I think most people would have appreciated a simple 5 minute chat with management. can’t think of anyone who would have left with hard feelings under those circumstances sad to write this, but I’d suggest looking elsewhere if PP survives - even for the cushy roles in eng and prod. it feels like a company run by people who have never run a company - which is fun until anything goes wrong

      Hi there - thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. We’re sorry that your positive experiences at PerchPeek didn't last through the end of your time with us. We're glad you developed bonds with other team members and enjoyed perks, but it unfortunate to hear that your day-to-day experience was inconsistent or unclear. As we mature the business, our leadership team and ways are working are maturing too. Growing pains are real, but nurturing a healthy feedback culture is top of mind for the People Team and leadership. We know there is always room for improvement, so thank you again for sharing your experience. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
