One Technologies Reviews

Simply by hiring new management (directors/ VPs) and empire building. I'm not going to go into details here. I could do so by describing specific activities and quotes and the names would be known and it wouldn't surprise anyone. But we were let go and the newly promoted person brought in some friend(s). The sexists and insulting things this person told me in 1 on 1 situations were just wrong and they couldn't get me to laugh or agree. I think this insecure person just couldn't relate to, bully or control some of their newly inherited direct reports, all of who were long timers and just decided to cut off the heads of chickens to becomes the most tenured leader. So, get rid of the longest tenured and make it mine kind of attitude. We were the stronger personalities of the department. You can't have that when you need to own it all. It was painful to see these people let go because they just didn't deserve it. They were proud OT employees and always got better than average performance reviews with all of their managers (not just 1) and even had high culture scores. The lack of questioning and intervention by HR over these moves hurt the most especially considering my relationship with them. Any areas of improvement for any of us are completely workable by any leader worth a damn. But in the end, they didn't give a crap. So, when some folks get shamed on these reviews, I do feel a sense of selfish schadenfreude. I can be man enough and say I could have been more positive about some changes that were taking places. The problem is when new people come in and say how much of what we do and have done over years is crap and how everyone is wrong and how they are going to fix it, that doesn't give someone like me a positive feeling and desire to present their ideas positively or even more importantly come up with great ideas myself to make them look good. We did things the way we did as sanctioned by previous executives and budget. I didn't go around dumping on all of their new ideas after they arrived but carrying a rah-rah attitude about them was a bubble they burst for me earlier after their repeated negative verbal vomit. Good luck to those friendlies that are still there with whom I worked with. I think of you often and hope the best for you. I am now at peace...

The business model is pretty shady. They are hedging their bets that people will forget to cancel their free trial and then they're on the hook for about $40/mo in credit monitoring. And then it's hard to cancel, too. You can't just click or email. You have to actually get someone on the phone and field their rescue pitches to get rid of the product. The FTC made an example of them a few years back for deceptive advertising practices, too. The fact that they're selling an overpriced product that Credit Karma gives away for free is just smarmy. The other reviews are right about the brown-nosing, too. I made the most of my salary during my 3 month probation, and was only too eager to leave once I was fired at the end of it all. The team I was on operated like a freaking sorority and the VP was obsessed with stealing other people's ideas to look good, playing favorites, and wanting to be buddies with the team rather than a leader who could give constructive feedback when expectations aren't met. The team I was on also openly gossiped about other teams which was appalling since there aren't any walls separating the groups. Also, there's a peer rating process that's supposed to be anonymous, but if you rate any of your teammates poorly the VP will confront everyone until the culprit is found. To top it ALL off, they tried to deny my unemployment claim saying I violated policy (untrue). So glad I'm gone and I'd happily tell anyone else who's considering them what a circus it was.
