Shockbyte reviews about "benefit"

Poorly managed Constant and clear nepotism Poor wages, extremely rare raises or bonuses Only cares about numbers, you will be overworked No career progression Condescending seniors Inadequate routes for escalation or communication Neglect, avoidance, denial, or willful ignorance of major issues with everything ranging from culture to product deficiencies

- Remote work has no additional perks (little/no merch or other gifts are sent to employees to offset the cost of office perks). - Fully flexible work often means you are expected to be available over weekends and outside work hours. - Extremely intrusive performance and tracking that includes second-by-second logging & screenshot captures. - No benefits, and employment is unavailable to most (contractors don't get basics like PTO, Health Insurance, etc.). - Little Job Security (Lay-offs happen at will and without notice). - Virtually no transparency or data-based decision-making (no openness about company KPI). - Huge HR department for a tiny company (2x the size of companies twice as big as well). - Nepotism in large quantities (multiple conflicts of interest among all of the leadership team and other staff members). - Poor salaries at all levels of experience & leadership. - Little job growth opportunities. - No leadership experience within leadership. Every since COVID there is no shortage of companies that treat their remote staff normally. You can really do better than this place.

- Bare minimum for employee benefits - Hired at the height of COVID, have now laid off nearly 50% of staff - Micromanagement by supervisors - Little to no CEO oversight - Conflict of roles by some staff - Lack of career opportunities/learning - Training is per supervisor - Bonuses promised but never followed through - Immature environment - CEO sees everyone as expendable

For years, pay and actual benefits have long been uncompetitive in the US market (90% of the team are contractors) and have led to many people leaving Shockbyte for higher paying opportunities or having worked second jobs (e.g. DoorDash, Starbucks, etc.) to make ends meet or receive crucial benefits like PTO and Health Care. While management seems invested in their contractors and long-term careers at Shockbyte with pay having significantly improved since I joined and benefits and employment are on the way, it's still unclear how comprehensive or competitive they'll be.

- HR is overbearing and actively restricting opportunities (very hard to get a new role/new salary). - Management cares little for overall satisfaction. - Nonexistant pay and minimal benefits.

Lower than average salaries (start-up company) Limited employment opportunities; part-time roles often contracted Challenges with asynchronous work coordination No paid time off or benefits for non-employees
