Dumpster fire
|
|
The company name used to carry respect in the artworld. It had a lot of potential as an online auction house. Alexander was a great charismatic leader while he was still around.
|
A floundering business that was mismanaged into the ground. The Iza years were especially bad as the company mismanaged funds, and were spending income from charity auctions to cover operating costs. Most staff were inexperienced in the art world. The people with the most power were poor managers, and the company ultimately suffered an embarrassing public lawsuit and bankruptcy. The company was essentially a vanity project for the revolving door of CEOs.

Great employees, poor leadership from co-founders
|
|
The team is hard working and knowledgable. Great group of colleagues. Leadership from co-founders is scattered and without focus.
|
Company co-founders are short-sighted and don't value work put in by employees.

Great first step in the art world
|
|
The team as a whole is an incredibly close-knit group, everyone is willing to help one another when things get especially busy and there is a great deal of peer-to-peer support. There is a lot of room to advance in the company should you seek out opportunities to take on more responsibility.
|
Upper level management does not seem to have a clear understanding of what each role entails, who is doing what, and the work each individual employee is doing day-to-day. The overall vision for the company is not clear, there is a lack in communication from the top down, and major decisions regarding title changes/restructuring/role revisions are not communicated effectively or professionally.

Your classic established start up
|
|
-It's a small team, so you get to work with a lot of different departments directly
-It is what you make it, if you have an interest within the company, pursue it. You get out what you put in.
|
-A start-up to the T -- there are growing pains between upper management and HR

Great Team and Office Culture
|
|
Great office culture, receptive management staff that helps employees get the most out of their roles, cool and collaborative office space, focus on hiring extremely knowledgable and driven staff, not overly corporate-feeling.
|
Have gone through a lot of change of company ownership in the past

Really Happy at Paddle8!
|
|
Upper management does not micro-mange, growth opportunities, access to events, flexibility to work from home as needed, casual and fun work environment but most importantly an amazing group of people with a superb newly appointed CEO.
|
Like most small companies, there are some roadblocks we face in getting tasks across the finish line, there's some confusion around company policies, but HR is always as transparent as they can be.
There was no true vision when I first started but under the direction of the new CEO I can clearly see what direction the company is going and I'm excited to be apart of this team!

Used to be a great platform and company
|
|
Established brand in the art world, but still wants to be innovative, flexible work schedule, staff is all cool, energetic and young, really great benefits.
|
Lack of funds or ability to actually innovate, tech and design quality continues to deteriorate, zero attention paid to HR, toxic, unprofessional work culture, unqualified and inexperienced management.

unprofessional and toxic
|
|
management seems to be open to people working remotely or from home whenever they feel like it.
|
Unprofessional work environment, weird office layout and space, unprofessional CEO, no accountability, no hierarchy of titles or employees, no structure, toxic work environment catering to gossip, no HR department whatsoever, and lack of transparency throughout the company.
