Unhealthy work environment solely due to upper management. This forum is a useful tool for any candidate to consider. The negative reviews are accurate and the positive ones are obviously fake.
1. Look at how the CEO responds to negative reviews (and doesn't to positive ones). If he responds "fake news" to every single negative review I think people will pick up on that they are actually...probably...likely.....true.
2. Look at the dates of the positive reviews, they were published in less than a week. In the past, we were encouraged to do Yelp reviews to increase ratings in exchange for a reward -- food for thought. I actually think this stunt helps validate the negative reviews, not help the company's ratings. If the company is such a great place to work, why so defensive?
3. The biggest con of all: loyalty is not part of their culture. Who's next, the COO?
