Janover Reviews

The illusion is that fear based plantation life has run its course. It's over. It has ended. The unfortunate reality is that it has just morphed. It has changed its appearance and its address. It has moved from the cotton plantation to the corporate plantation. The old southern plantations have moved into reinforced steel, concrete, glass and marble structures. And a perfect example is Janover! The regularity of employee "departures" (even pre-COVID) is truly head spinning. Janover pays lip service to "valuing" their human assets, but that is pure HR gaslighting. If you make a mistake, you will likely get a warning that you just might be included in the next round of "desaparecidos." Nice job you got there! It would be a shame if something happened to it! When HR is observed in the NYC office, everyone gossips about which head or heads will roll "this time." However, if you are a partner's son (wink wink nod nod) or a "friend of the firm" there are no worries! Beware of fake/b-nose "positive" reviews posted last Spring 2020 for the purpose of inflating Janover's deservedly low rating. Finally, be aware that if you are not a partner, a partner's son or a friend of the firm, you are only passing through. And usually only for one busy season.

Old school cronyism is what it is all about. Promotions are not based on a meritocratic system but on who you know and if you are part of their crowd. Management is resistant to any sort of changes including ones that will bring their business additional revenue streams. Instead of throwing lame group birthday parties that one is forced to attend how about investing in the development of your staff? Encourage staff to attend off site CPE events. Stop having staff from having to allocate every minute of their time and focus on the value that they bring to the firm and not on how much you can bill clients based on the hours spent on engagements. Time based billing is not going to be around much longer.
