Tyton Partners Reviews

Financial Challenges: - The business has been underperforming for some time, leading to inconsistent workflow. - Last year, we had to place 3 of our junior project managers to externships to help finances. - This year, we laid off 10% of our workforce and postponed the starting dates for several new hires. Poor Financial Judgement: - The leadership has faced challenges in predicting work consistency, resulting in misjudged hiring projections and subsequent layoffs mentioned above. - Even amidst clear financial strain and a surplus of project managers, hiring continued at that level, causing layoffs. Communication and Ethical Concerns: - Leadership talks a smooth game, indicating upon hire and afterwards that everything is great, even when it's not, and indicating that you'll be well-taken care of, even when that's not necessarily true. - Last year, when we placed the 3 people in externships, leadership told employees the reason for the externships was for the great opportunity for those 3 people. The truth is that we couldn't afford to pay them and needed the other companies to do so. - Early this year, an unexpected last-minute decision to withdraw visa support for employees created unnecessary anxiety and sense of betrayal. - Also this year, discussions at the highest levels about potential layoffs were secretly ongoing MONTHS before the last-minute announcement was made to employees and to those laid off in July. A more courageous and proactive approach could have offered affected employees better preparation. - Similarly, new hires were informed by leadership only in July, with a mere 3 WEEKS notice, that their starting dates would be postponed to January or later. Some people had already made significant life decisions, even moving cities, based on their employment and promised start date of August. - Leadership didn't offer those with postponed start dates any financial assistance at all in the meantime, and the severence packages for those laid off were quite poor. Job Stability Concerns: - Beyond the aforementioned layoffs, there has been a noticeable trend of employees leaving, either by choice or termination, over the past few years. Diversity and Inclusion: - A glance at our online personnel directory, particularly the higher ranks, might raise questions about our commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Unstandardized and unethical management practices. You never know what would happen next day e.g. layoff, visa sponsorship withdrawal, delaying start date; withdrawing offers etc. No sense of job security at all. Managers directly told you "corporate does not have feelings" and "we don't have time and money for you to lean" in 1:1 meeting. They pretend to be nice and good people on surface and do everything secretly behind at your back. Want the best and smartest people but have unrealistic expectation, little support, and treat you unfairly. The culture is "if you can't perform at the level of our expectation, we get rid of you". The salary is not even that high to compensate for all those stress the toxic environment. Totally not worth it. Avoid working here if you don't want to experience the hunger game in real life and feel traumatized. Go to a good management consulting firm if you want to do profit-driven business consulting or go to a non-profit or education foundation if you want to do education work.
