PopSockets Reviews

-The company recently went through a round of layoffs that impacted about 65 employees with no warning or notice. Luckily PopSockets could use COVID-19 as an excuse, when in reality the company is struggling financially (money has and continues to be spent foolishly) -Employees who were not laid off took 20% decreases to their salaries and now most are vastly underpaid -Majority of the perks that are listed on the website are no longer offered: 3% 401k contribution, wellness stipend, recognition program- all have gone away due to the financial struggles mentioned above -Diversity is lacking on the leadership team. -Nepotism is a problem (as mentioned in other reviews) -A group of individuals were "promoted" one week before the layoffs with no pay to follow their increased job responsibilities. Then a week later some of the promoted individuals were laid off and the others received salary reductions. This is poor form -There are no new ideas, no new successful products. Everything since the original Popgrip has been a flop -It's apparent that the CEO doesn't trust employees which has caused various issues (firings, lack of innovation, tension, fear, the list goes on)

PopSockets is a joke of an organization. I highly recommend you do thorough research before exploring employment opportunities. The leadership team is old, out of touch, white males with little to no relevant industry experience. There is only one leader in the org worth working with. Their egos impact any decision-making ability and essentially ignore any opportunity for diverse feedback or impact. One of the primary leaders in charge is racist, homophobic, etc. I have never heard such disgusting words come out of a human's mouth. HR is aware and has taken no action. This individual is extremely problematic and sets the tone for what you might be signing up for.
