Avantages
The new office space is nice and there is a nice cafe downstairs.
Inconvénients
I have never had such a bad experience at a company as at Standard. I started looking for new jobs four months in. Complete lack of care towards employees as human beings. Racist remarks made in the office. Turnover rate is incredibly high - talking longest any entry level employee has stayed is 2-3 years. Management is inflexible, apathetic. Remote work not an option for all employees because upper management "needs to watch what you're doing" (meanwhile they give themselves the luxury of working from home). Health concerns disregarded. Was pressured to come into office before fully vaccinated. Asked to take PTO for when you can't come into the office, when you have doctor's visits. Micro-management is rampant. There is no trust in employees, no openness to input or improvement: upper management's way or the highway. Not uncommon for managers to work 50-60 hours a week, which trickles pressure down to lower employees. Inconsistent application of company policies between people on the same team and across departments. The only culture this company has is one of fear and intimidation. Sole focus is productivity. Zero on learning, employee well-being. Office has no collaboration. Generally people silently working at their desks. On the whole, company lacks diversity (one person of color and zero women in executive offices and as department heads). No team building, no personal or professional development. No transparency from chief officers (no quarterly meetings, no company status reports). Would not wish this company on worst enemy.
