Pros

co-workers are nice and just trying to do the best job they can

Cons

company owner is verbally abusive to employees and lacks coherent, well thought out leadership skills. there is no logical strategy to the business, just far fetched ideas being thrown at the wall. turnover is nearly 100% and most employees leave due to be CEO’s erratic behavior. working hours are around the clock and pay and benefits are poor.

Sinking Ship

Pros

The best thing about FinchFactor is its employees. The teams consist of smart, ambitious, inspiring people. Every single one of them deserves a better environment than the one they are in now.

Cons

The company is a mess. Management is incompetent. The CEO is a psychopath. The company claims to be forward-thinking and inclusive, but it's not. Working crazy hours without being paid overtime is considered 'part of your job'. The employee turnover rates are out of this world – the average person lasts appr five months. Clients come and go at the same pace. Personally, I've never been as stressed out and overworked as during my time at FinchFactor. The atmosphere at the office is filled with distrust and absurd deadline expectations, causing an extremely depressive environment.

Manage expectations

Pros

You get a chance at FF, that's a pro. Even if you have no work experience in the niche field they operate in - you get hired into a senior position. When you have no work experience at all, they'll hire you too - it seems like a great opportunity and they promise you the world. However, after a while you realise that these promises are pretty empty. You do learn a lot, not from senior management, but from the team. The Finchies are incredibly hard working and you learn endurance and perseverance, but no one can endure the icy atmosphere at FF, the lack of expectation management and the nonexistent work-life-balance for long.

Cons

Senior management tends to over promise to clients, partners and their employees and as a result the Finchies continuously find themselves in uncomfortable situations that reflect badly on them. Long working hours, impossible tasks and unfeasible expectations aren't the exception, they're the rule. When you start at FF they promise you the world with a cherry on top. But if the CEO tells you, you'll be accepted for who you are at FF, that you're valued, that you'll work in an international, diverse team - that's empty words. The CEO has her own agenda, and will pursue it no matter the cost. Employee retention isn't a thing at FF - only when 10 people quit in one year (and bear in mind they only have 20-25 in total), the remaining employees will get promotions or a raise because senior management is scared they'll leave too. The office atmosphere is cold, stressful and scary. Especially because you know that senior management keeps over promising, and you'll find yourself failing or caught in embarrassing situations over and over again. The industry knows that FF is a sinking ship, as they've tried to grow way too fast. They've tasted success and wanted more, more, more without stopping to take a step back and reflect.
