Toxic, hostile, vile CEO and leadership - SEO Manager RobotZebra Employee Review

Money, remote work, decent (but rushed) training. Team switched on if rude/unfriendly (some grace given due to culture of fear).

Unstable, abusive CEO who is openly racist in morning team calls that anyone could record. Seems to take a sadistic pleasure in catching people out. Case in point: yelling in a rage at a senior member of staff on the team call in front of their subordinates over a typo (that was not there...). The HR person's microaggressions and coded language, instigating and joining in bullying of current and former staff.

Remote working. Good benefits (gym membership, prescription glasses etc)

Before accepting this role, be aware that the CEO’s volatile behaviour can create a highly demoralising work environment. Verbal abuse, public humiliation in front of clients, job threats, and unprofessional conduct such as swearing during Zoom calls or on Slack are common occurrences. Rather than trusting and empowering the team, he often dismisses their expertise, leaving employees feeling undervalued and incapable of performing their roles. While I initially loved my job, by the end, I felt completely drained and disheartened. I sincerely hope he reflects on this feedback and makes meaningful changes, as many of us hold evidence of his behaviour, which could eventually have serious consequences.
