Calm Reviews

In all of the companies I've been at, there has been some degree of toxicity. I thought Calm would be different but it was off the charts toxic for me. My time at Calm consisted of micromanagement, passive-aggressiveness, toxic positivity, and a complete lack of professionalism. I decided it wasn't worth my time to stay. I experienced nights of sleeplessness that then led to morning anxiety for weeks. No amount of meditation made me feel any better ironically. Having a terrible manager that was manipulative and had no idea how to actually manage prompted me to finally leave. I shared my experiences before I left with executive leadership and HR.

- Nightmarish post-merger issues - HR is non-existent - Managers will lie straight to your face just to save face - People vying for promotions or stability will definitely through others under the bus - Workload has grown exponentially, but the home brewed app management system is a bandaged mess that makes no sense - They say they are transparent but they aren’t - A specific manager tries to talk about important topics but sounds like a college kid trying to meet a word minimum on an essay due in thirty minutes - Calm Springs was a disaster and a half as we listened to rich people tell us how to be better for seven hours a day - Creative teams are hit or miss. Some are good and some couldn’t walk three steps without needing affirmation in Slack - Teams are everywhere and each member has so many unrelated responsibilities that it makes inter-team communication next to impossible because you do not know who to speak to - All uploading for the app has been left to one contractor that they are cutting and that has slowed down any momentum
