Orium Reviews

- They pay pretty poorly compared to the market. - Leadership team is very clueless about what they want to do. Many of them have not worked a day outside of this company and it shows with how poorly they are handling the company AFTER securing a decent funding. - The execs are just concerned about making a buck when they eventually sell the company. - Managers and CEO will lie to your face. They had another round of layoffs after the CEO said there won't be any more in the next year at least. Majority of managers do not even know what their direct-reports are working on, yet they hold TWO review cycles in a year with no development plan or goals discussion. - They acquired a LATAM based company for cheap developers so they can beat their competitors on price, while firing a major chunk of Canadian developers. - Sales only knows how to talk but not sell anything. So many engineers on the bench, yet they can't sell a project even if their lives depended on it. Poor sales performances, yet they always end up getting promoted. - They clearly have a group of favourites who can never do anything wrong.

Being laid off after being told "We're looking at good growth for 2024" felt like the most avoidable thing. Other orgs I've been at, they try to cut expenses in other areas of the company. Layoffs are a worse-case scenario. But here, it feels like it was the very first thing they did. Cutting benefits or selling the 2 condos in Downtown Toronto could have probably saved a few people's jobs. Instead, it seemed more important to keep the lucky remaining employees comfy. HR is very slow to respond, which is stressful when you need help finding a new job.
