This was the most exploitive and toxic work environment I have ever worked in. It stems from top management who operate with the notion that they own you because you work for them. This is not the workplace for you if you value your self-respect and ability to enjoy a meaningful life outside of work.
What I’ve personally experienced and/or witnessed at HQ:
• Blatant disrespect and public humiliation of employees and partners
• Executive management regularly yelling to get points across
• Teams held onsite all night to get deliverables done
• Executive management harassment, bullying, and coercion
• Regular email and phone demands after hours and weekends
• An obsession with perfection that drives rework demands 20x over for the same deliverable
• Written compensation agreements deliberately withheld at executive management discretion
• Employees called away from preapproved family time to return to work
• Fearful and disgruntled employees
• Miserable employees feeling trapped due to H1B sponsorship
• Very high turnover, very low morale
I expect there will be immediate backlash by the COO to discredit this review on any grounds, similar to what he has done for all reviews that paint Harmonia in an unfavorable light. It exemplifies a fragile ego and how profit, perception, and self-preservation are held in higher regard than accountability to uphold a sustainable work environment that respects individuals.
