Circle Internet Financial reviews about "manager"

Working here is amazing. However there are too many managers in different organizations who don’t really contribute to the overall organizations besides brainstorming and execute half baked ideas. Some lack technical knowledge leading to horrible client experiences and calls. There is also a lot of shifiting agenda every 6 months which is understandable but requires thoughtful consideration. Such as Ideas from upper management on cross functional trainings that only strain resources, redirect responsibility and fail to deliver results. Recently seen a lot of micro management from upper to lower management which is causing micro aggressions within teams and stressful environments. Overzealous checks and balances that are only aggravating staff.

Company is scaling. Lots of work to be done... wouldn't say this is a bad thing though!

Benefits meh, compared to others I interviewed at could be better. Sometimes a bit top heavy, not meaning C-Suite, just a lot of “Directors” with little to no reports, depending on team upward mobility varies. Not much more, have enjoyed it.

- Strong bro culture. - Grinding is a must here very often. - Management has no easy process for complaints against your manager. - Expletive language seems to be normal, in a positive context could be nice, but in a negative context makes life miserable.

- Work weekends more than normal, if you gonna interview with them, make sure to ask how many hours they expect you to work at weekends in average in a month ( not every weekend but once every couple of weeks). - Condescending individuals on positions of power, unpleasant people to meet. Some of the worst coworkers and individuals I had the misfortune to meet and work with here. - Some people get promotions because they are the gaming buddy of the manager rather than merit. People that are ignorants or that do not deserve it get authority and screw the long term goals of the company. - Some groups have multiple managers but not actual leaders, there are teams that seem to have 2 managers, but there is no actual lead. So they delegate managing task to condescending individuals that have no touch with people and treat people like they were dumb. - Management seem to be ok with people using expletive language during meetings, at some point insulting other coworkers. When reporting it nothing was done since it was also a gaming buddy. - Lack of process of onboarding. - Too many meetings. Half day will go in to meetings, then they expect you to finish your task and exclude the time of the meetings.

Other comment in pro section

- A lot of the inner workings can be a little daunting at first when I dived in; luckily everyone on the team is helpful and enthusiastic about the product - It's both exciting and frightening to be (forgive the cliche) disrupting the banking industry, so sometimes it can be a little disappointing to see that other companies in the space move slower
