Terakeet Reviews

Nepotism. Amateurs in leadership roles

Many of the reviews being uploaded around this time period are in response to a massive layoff that happened a few days ago (that goes for the bad reviews and the good ones). While my review is also a result of this event, I want to shed some light on who Terakeet was BEFORE they decided to gut an entire department and share a few reasons as to why I already had one foot out the door. This is not to give the company a poor reputation or to dissuade you from applying, but rather to paint a true picture of what you're getting yourself into should you choose to work here. 1)The Kool-Aid is Delicious Many of the reviews here describe Terakeet as a cult, and that is 100% true. New hires are fed lots of rhetoric that have you believing that you truly hit the jackpot from people who truly believe (or at least are pretending to believe) that there is nowhere on Earth that will give you a more pleasant working experience than Terkateet. The flexible working arrangements and affordable/free benefits will confirm this narrative, and you will likely fall in love with the amazingly kind, caring people who were intentionally hired to portray a loving workforce that values your thoughts and opinions. The reality, though, is that this company is comprised of cliques that are difficult to join, people with salaries that are anything but competitive, and visionless leaders who make it difficult for you to reach your objectives. 2)Uninspired Leaders The department that was ultimately cut from the Terakeet has been struggling for a few years now. One would think that it would be up to the department leaders to identify the issues, provide a solution, and guide it back to its position of being one of the most productive departments at the company. Instead, the leaders of the department took no accountability or ownership of the problem and instead looked to the individual contributors to come up with a plan to rescue our jobs and find a way to make our work "valuable" to our clients. That is an insane amount of pressure for someone who is quite literally viewed as having the lowest position at the company and who is also making a nearly unlivable salary. We were shamed for not being innovative enough and criticized for not hitting our quotas by the same people whose job it was to lead us to victory. We were even once called "EMBARASSMENTS," as if our underperformance wasn't a reflection of the ones who were managing us. 3) False promises Terakeet prides itself in having an incredibly kind workforce. The problem with that, though, is that no one has the skill set to manage people's expectations. They promise that everyone has the opportunity to be promoted yet make arbitrary decisions on who actually will be able to have one of the few managerial jobs available. They tell you that there's no need to worry if you're struggling to meet your goals and then fire you without warning. This is why the layoff hit all of us so hard, because we were told that our jobs were safe and there was no way for us to brace for the impact of losing such a crucial source of income. There needs to be someone who's not afraid to tell it like it is, but also does it in a way that isn't demeaning to TK employees. I do not know what the state of Terakeet will be like after the time of this review. However, I would be lying if I said that I believe that things will change much after this.
