Elitist and cliquey - Anonymous employee Windmill Strategy Employee Review

- Cliquey environment. Leadership is essentially a friend group, making company decisions based on "vibes" instead of hard data. - Micromanagement is a huge problem for the Project Management team, which is just two people, and is siloed between retainer clients and new web projects. Their inability to communicate with each other will become your problem. - Zero racial diversity. Good luck being taken seriously if you are not a wealthy white person. - Poor communication due to inexperienced and incompetent department leaders/project managers. More concerned with maintaining friendships than doing good work. - CEO/Owner is a control freak with an outdated understanding of the current digital marketing landscape. Frequently requires hand-holding to fully grasp material. - Poor training and onboarding experience for new hires. You will be expected to come in ready to extinguish the flames of a fire you did not create. - Zero coherent company structure, and no HR department, which means no recourse if you are in an awkward position with a coworker. - Was misled during the recruitment process regarding the autonomy of the role. - Zero career advancement opportunities. The biggest possible success you could have at this company is making the CEO a little bit richer.
