Embark Veterinary reviews

exec has NO idea what they are doing, employees who were hired a few months ago are suddenly laid off due to "strategy change" which has happened over 4 times in the past 2 years. MAJOR red flag. Do not join, your position will likely get eliminated in a few months and you'll be left with a terrible severance package.

The CEO is completely out of his element. He truly does care about the mission and Embark's product, but severely lacks the business acumen and people skills to lead an organization. He initially told the entire company there would not be layoffs, then proceeded to go through two rounds of layoffs, one which was fairly small, the other pretty significant. During the height of the pandemic, while most companies were downsizing office space, he decided to move to a very large space - which of course no one ever went to. Additionally, the CEO also broke the Covid Policy for his very own company - rules for thee, not for me. You can tell other members of the executive team are frustrated due to poor decisions the CEO continues to make, that puts them and the company as a whole in a tough spot. While most of the other exec team members are serviceable leaders, the Chief Product Officer does not help the business. She spends much of her time virtue signaling on LinkedIn, and trying to help former co-workers of a past employer, rather than focusing on our business, or even helping Embark's former employee's who were laid off.
