A Horrible Place to Work - Anonymous employee Alleyoop (CA) Employee Review

Preface this with I was a part of the team when the CEO ASKED CURRENT EMPLOYEES TO WRITE A NICE REVIEW here because the rating was so low. There’s a low rating for a reason. The founders are charming and smooth talking and do a great job schmoozing people into the company. But what David and Leila won’t tell you is it’s failing horribly. They’re bleeding money, they’re so out of touch and refuse to actually pay attention to customer feedback (product quality is horrible and branding is cheap/gadgety). So when the company inevitably fails to meet insane (gotta pay back all that investor money they scammed) revenue goals - they get nasty FAST. Employee turnover has been very high and David is quick to blame each employee who leaves for all of the companies woes publicly to the whole team. Incredibly unprofessional. Current employees - that’ll be you when you inevitably leave. He also has a short memory and whiplashes the team back and forth, changing his mind constantly and causing an insane amount of extra work, loss of morale, and productivity. Leila is almost as bad. She veers the company off into these social campaigns that gobble up tens of thousands of dollars, insisting they’ll go viral. Consuming months of company time and resources. When they launch and get like 5 likes on social media it’s like wiped from their memory and back to attacking employees for not prioritizing other initiatives. It’s almost impressive how easily they forget that they insist on a project take #1 priority and then are flabbergasted as to why their overworked team hasn’t somehow also prioritized everything else. They preach all sorts of values but are the first to abandon them at a moments notice. From treating to people with integrity to dealing honestly with customers. They have no issue compromising morals or being unethical and asking their team to. They aren’t honest about anything and send HR after you for everything. It’s just a facade of fake nice.
