Equian reviews about "culture"

Toxic culture and poor management

I don't have anything to say on this.

pay was decent but raises were scarce, repetitive

The pay grades are on the lower scale of the industry. Is very decentralized, has a lot of different branches.

Company was acquired and changed

Equian is a conglomeration of many mergers and acquisitions so there is no one single culture. Each product line, which is generally equivalent to some company that was bought along the way, usually has its own culture and style. The contributes to a chaotic environment. Company has not done a good job of integrating all the acquisitions especially from a technology standpoint. Consolidating key tech platforms is costly, complex, and time consuming and a lot of the leadership does not seem to get that. Certain teams are really overworked. You have some groups that have good work/life balance working ~40 hours a week, and others who are routinely working 60+ hours, weekends, overnights, particularly in IT operations. The chaos and disparate working environments has led to a lot of turnover in certain departments. In the span of a year or so IT probably had 15% turnover with many strong and talented people leaving. There are managers in the org that are not great leaders and senior management does not seem to pay attention. Lack of transparency and communication on company performance. Most of what is shared is somewhat nebulous perhaps since they are a privately held company they don't want too much financial details floating around.

Managers tend to work in silos Some departments have an excellent culture while others are extremely toxic Management does not communicate well or set realistic expectations for employees in the training department
