Dandy (NY) reviews

where to start... 1. 26 year old ceos are inexperienced and have built an echo chamber by surrounding themselves with yes-men who tell them whatever they want to hear 2. they HAD experienced leaders, but fired most of them bc they didn't want to deal with uncomfortable truths 3. those experienced leaders were replaced by people with 0 experience, but know how to talk a good game 4. promote based on favoritism - head of revenue teams and training, was originally head of marketing. they were promoted after a massive layoff earlier this year but have NO EXPERIENCE with sales, customer success, account management, etc 5. many teams (prod marketing, cx, account management) are led by people who manipulate and backstab others, lie to senior leadership, withhold information and doing everything in their power to get ahead without actually doing any real work; HR and senior leadership refuse to do anything about this because these people are inner circle 6. product quality is a major problem. dandy manufactures things that go inside other people's mouths (crowns, dentures, molds, implants) but do not have qualified employees to design and produce these products--the big joke is that dandy employees would never purchase or use dandy produced products 7. speed is used as an excuse to make mistakes--from product manufacturing, to hiring dental designers, to switching business strategies on a weekly basis (there is no strategy) 8. we're talking about a company that is basically working the medical / medical adjacent field that is cutting corners left and right that refuses to considering or mitigating the risks and impacts associated with poor quality 9. employees are treated as interchangeable cogs in a while. thrown out when they've lost value, and replaced with other cogs; you could be hired for product development then put into sales because why not

Where do I even begin? This company is a masterclass in dysfunction. It’s run by political operators who have zero interest in real talent or outcomes—only in consolidating power. Anyone competent, driven, or ambitious? You’ll be pushed out, blocked from growth, or quietly sidelined because you’re a threat to the insecure people running the show. If you’re not part of the “inner circle,” good luck. Favoritism is blatant. People from certain backgrounds are consistently treated worse, and while it’s not always explicit, it’s absolutely felt. The emotional toll of working in this environment is unreal. Technically, the business is led by generalists who have no business running a highly specialized, technical operation. Wrong people, wrong seats, wrong results. And they wonder why customers are churning and leaving us scathing feedback? It’s a joke. Every 6–12 months, they change metrics like they change socks, wreck teams with unrealistic expectations, then go, “Oops, that didn’t work.” Meanwhile, people are getting fired based on those metrics. Turnover is astronomical. If you need proof, just look at how many people were hired and how fast they left. That should tell you everything.
