Paid far below industry standard, preyed on people during economic downturn (hired people with CompSci degrees as QA, then forced them to do coding work for no extra pay or benefit)
Draconian Christian C-levels and managers, mandatory company retreats (to bible colleges, everytime), company-wide prayers; please, PLEASE expect to be treated differently if you don't subscribe to their dogma! I had the co-founder of the company tell me in front of my entire department at one of these bible college retreats that he wanted me to live a fulfilling life (implying I wasn't), and that only Liferay and Christ could do that for me. I was told at the same meet by the same egoist that ethic is impossible to have without religion, and that athiests are amoral. Remember, this is the co-founder. There was also an incident where one of my coworkers dispersed my personal information yelling in an auditorium details of my insurance and health plan. When I angrily relayed this to my manager, nothing was concrete was done, as the perpetrator was one of his high school church friends.
There were other incidents: a pair of brothers who worked there, who also were church friends. These two brothers brought a machete to work once, had pictures of guns as their icons, constantly talked about guns in work chats, and one set his profile to, I quote, "kicking down doors in islamabad derka derka derka". Nothing was done to rectify these situations because these two were in-clique. In contrast, I was having an extraordinary toothache one morning, and had to make an emergency visit to the dentist. I let my managers know about this with an email. They called me into a meeting soon after I had come back to work, same day; they were extraordinarily angry that I had not "requested" the time from them first, even though I had sent them an email informing them I wanted to use sick time. As they had not replied back to me, my going to the dentist was "defying" them, and they wrote me up for visiting the dentist when I was experiencing agony (my crown had fallen off). After they stonewalled my worry and my questions, after half the day they came back to me and said that they were going to be "gracious" and not write me up... again, for an emergency that I had notified them about prior to coming in.
Do not trust their reviews - they will lie to your face in bi-weekly reviews (held with two supervisors!) and then let you go without warning. The spineless manager wouldn't even look me in the eye when they let me go, and excused himself from the room ASAP without answering any of my questions, as even being on good terms with him and working under him for a year did not obligate him to give me a moment more of his time. They attempted to withhold unemployment from me immediately following this as well.
