First Orion Reviews

-First Orion is not "people first" in any meaningful sense. Behind the beer30 and pingpong is a company expecting workers to sacrifice everything: family, time, money -- to be under paid and consistently mistreated. - 85% of the people with a "Associate Director" or above are friends of the CEO, old axiom hires, or a kid of one of the Directors. The other 15% are working themselves to death and setting unrealistic and unhealthy standards for new folk on "how to get ahead". - There is straight up bulling\harassment happening. It's a "funny joke" that the CEO curses out workers. Managers will unprofessionally reprimand workers they don't like in public settings and in private it's way worse. Completely unprofessional and always uncomfortable -- this is not office gossip, it's your director calling your friend, partner, or coworker incompetent and all you can do is sit there and listen. - The company can't "afford raises" yet continued hiring for new upper management positions -- just so happens, they are also all friends of the current director(s). These people provide very little value, and often just feel like another person for the mid-management folk to deal with.

To echo what a previous reviewer wrote, there is absolutely a bad apple in management and everyone knows who it is, but they are not about to go anywhere. The company is literally bleeding engineers because of it. As long as this person is in charge, the engineering team will be ran straight into the ground.
