Bilt Rewards reviews about "ceo"

- Leadership is scatterbrained and non-existent in some regards. Priorities are constantly shifting and that often isn’t discussed or communicated to key stakeholders until a decision has already been made by the executive team. - In office is essentially required 5 days/week. While this isn’t inherently a problem, a lack of dedicated work space, meeting rooms, and a cramped environment makes it difficult to focus and get work done. - Feedback loops don’t really exist unless you explicitly seek them out, making it difficult to know where your performance stands relative to expectations. - Much of the culture is driven by the whims of a CEO that can best be described as a megalomaniac and micromanager. - This is not a standard 9 to 5 gig and requires constant monitoring of slack and email during evenings and weekends to ensure you stay up to speed.

- The CEO is an absolute nightmare to work for. - An incompetent, arrogant, tyrannical figure who treats employees like personal playthings. - No concern exists for anyone or anything beyond personal gain, and every action revolves around self interest, even when it harms everyone else. - Fall short of expectations and expect outbursts, yelling, and being treated as if you are worthless. - anyone wanting peace of mind should stay far away from Bilt Rewards.

- CEO micromanages everything causing chaos and backtracking - Constant fires - Quarterly culling of low-performers and people the CEO personally doesn't - Free-for-all in terms of SWE processes (each team re-invents the wheel)

- Leadership does not value feedback and company culture is extremely cliquey - All company outings are centered around drinking, requests for other types of events that are not as dependent on alcohol went ignored and even mocked by management - Everyone is required to be in person 5 days a week and the office conditions are unacceptable for the current size of the company - Not enough conference rooms, phone booths, , or desks, and kitchens are always an absolute mess - Only 4 single stall bathrooms for the entire office and at least one is frequently out of order - An entire department was sent to a WeWork in a different neighborhood instead of management finding a space big enough for the entire company - The CEO complained when people worked from home on a day NYC experienced extremely inclement weather, which made commuting to the office unsafe for most people that did not live near the office - There is a huge focus on new features which is causing core functions of the product (rent payments) to fail and break

- theres always a fire to put out - work gets handed to you EOD on a Friday and expected to be complete by the following Monday, forcing you to work through the weekend (I can't stress how many times this happens) - if you're not in the office 5x a week you are looked down upon (even if everyones in office there isn't nearly enough room/seats for everyone) - if you're not working weekends to make absurd deadlines meet, you are looked down upon - lots of political bureaucracy and zero respect for work/life balance, leading to very quick burnouts which seem to never go away (due to having to overwork and work through weekends most of the time and non-realistic deadlines being set by leadership) - office is loud and makes working very difficult, especially if your work requires you to focus - leadership does not talk to teams about what they have planned to see if the deadlines for projects make sense, instead they set an absurd deadline that is set in stone (even after teams push back saying the deadline or features they want don't align with how long it takes to get it up and running, they refuse to change/update the deliverables to something that makes sense) - The CEO complains during team meetings when people worked from home when they are sick and even if they working from home due to COVID symptoms, making it extremely unsafe for everyone that didn't have the virus and was working from the office - company wide outings are just over-glorified frat parties with little to no food and tons of drinks (it doesn't make sense to attend these if you're not into that stuff)

- Worst office in a terrible location for commuters with zero sunlight and a horrible elevator. Only real soulless vampires can be happy 5 days a week in office - Disconnected and delusional CEO with a whip he loves to crack even on the best performers for not performing at his ideal pace, which is always unreasonably faster - Low quality product with little testing - You’ll work weekends whether you like it or not. - Equity structure was changed to 10/20/30/40 and there are people at the company that have 25/25/25/25 and you’ll work just as hard as they do but pay way more in taxes if things work out and have a lot more to lose at potential layoff - CEO has no idea how a design system works and designs a new screen every day that looks like a new app - Staff Engineers seem mis leveled and some seniors are way better yet lower level than the staff eng

Constant shifting priorities and the CEO is very difficult to work with. Would not recommend Bilt just based on that
