Toxic work environment: a cautionary tale - Client Success Manager Symplast Employee Review

-Passionate group of people who genuinely want to improve and materially impact the business of aesthetics. -Really strong product, with emphasis on consistent improvement of both UX & features. -High upside potential for both earnings and impact… big goals = big opportunity - Dynamic environment where evolution is constant

-Typically challenges seen in high growth organizations… things move fast and you have to embrace that change is a constant -Some processes are unique to the organization

There are a lot of talented people who truly care about what they do. It’s an Apple-first company with great MacBooks. The company is not afraid to spend money on good tech. Plus, it’s remote.

Working at Symplast was a soul-crushing experience. The negative reviews here do not lie. I don’t know a single employee who is truly happy there. The culture is the worst I have experienced in my career. This stems from leadership at the top. The CEO exhibits narcissistic and egotistical behavior that sets the tone for the entire organization. Rather than leading, he relies on intimidation and fear. It is very much “his way or the highway.” Differing viewpoints are not tolerated. This pattern is consistently echoed by current and former employees. The company cycled through four executive leaders in a single year, which speaks volumes about leadership stability. Priorities change constantly, creating ongoing stress and confusion for teams. HR is effectively non-existent and engages in questionable practices. Employees should carefully review the employee agreement, which appears designed to discourage employees from speaking out. That’s how bad it is. Talk with former employees, and you will hear strikingly similar experiences. Do not take a job here unless it is your only option. You will regret it.
