Astreya Partners

A Typical Day at Work:
A typical day as an AV Tech II at Astreya involved setting up and troubleshooting AV equipment for live and hybrid events, managing Zoom and in-person conferences, and collaborating with stakeholders to ensure successful technical execution. While the work itself was straightforward, shifting priorities and unclear expectations from management often disrupted the flow of tasks.

What You Believe You Learned:
I gained valuable experience in managing AV setups for high-profile events, coordinating with stakeholders, and adapting to dynamic situations in live environments. Collaboration with skilled team members taught me new technical approaches and best practices in AV systems. 

Management:
Unfortunately, management was a significant challenge during my time at Astreya. My manager often provided inconsistent direction, frequently changed expectations, and sometimes undermined my efforts to perform at my best. Requests for professional development were denied without guidance on how to improve or reapply, which limited growth opportunities. Additionally, critical feedback was sometimes delivered publicly, creating unnecessary stress.

Workplace Culture:
The culture within the team was mostly positive, with team members respecting one another and fostering a collaborative environment. As a non-binary individual, I appreciated that my pronouns were respected by most colleagues. However, the management style often overshadowed these positive aspects, creating a tense and demoralizing atmosphere.

The Hardest Part of the Job:
The hardest part of the job was dealing with inconsistent management and the lack of support for personal growth. Disparities in pay and responsibilities between team members, combined with dismissive responses from HR, made it difficult to feel valued. Additionally, the remote management approach made it harder to build trust and clear communication with leadership.

The Most Enjoyable Part of the Job:
The most enjoyable part of the job was collaborating with talented team members and stakeholders. These interactions allowed me to hone my technical skills and contribute to successful events. The team's camaraderie and shared dedication to delivering high-quality work were bright spots in an otherwise challenging role.

Recommendation:
While the technical experience and collaboration opportunities at Astreya can be rewarding, I would caution potential candidates about the limited growth opportunities and challenging management environment. If you're looking for a role with strong leadership support and career development, this position may not meet those expectations.

Worked for this company for a couple months and let me tell you if I knew how this company worked, I would have never accepted their job offer. 
They say they stand behind their workers, which a big lie. During this epidemic they didn’t care about workers health, they did not provide safely equipment (gloves, masks, hand sanitizer or cleaning supplies). That’s until the Facebook forced them too supply their workers with these essentials.
Job security is non existing at this company, they let go of large amounts of people without remorse. 
Work retaliation is a big thing at this company as well, people who complained about work safety and asked for safety equipment were quickly bullied (mistreated or given the cold shoulder by management) until either they left the company or management let them go. A worker complained about verbal harassment in the workplace and was let go two weeks later. Their reasoning was, “unfortunately we hired to many people and don’t have enough funding” even though they were contracted by one of the top social media companies (Facebook).  
Lastly, you won’t get ahead unless you are in with the managers group of friends. I’ve seen the warehouse manager let go of leads, just so he can place his close posey in lead positions.

Do not recommend this company, stay away. 

Environment is nice as you mainly work for large companies (i.e. Alphabet companies). The work flow is decent but can and will spike often. Policies are constantly changing on a weekly basis so what you know today could be obsolete tomorrow. The company and your host company will bait you to work hard with job advancement that either doesn't work out or string you along until you are irrelevant to the position. Management for what ever reason has high turn around. I've had 3 different managers come and go within the past year. Expectations are not always aligned properly as one man sites are expected to run as efficiently as large group sites even if the ratio is 1 technician per 600+ Users. While doing your daily tasks you are expected to care for emergencies, weekly, and monthly tasks while keeping track of all your accessories and assets. These are just the basis, there are a lot of other variables but those are the core ones.  It's a lot of work for really low pay, definitely below industry standards. The only thing that makes up for all of this are the perks, but even that only last for a short time.

 HR is very good friends with upper management so if you rub management the wrong way. Then HR and management will come up with reasons to terminate you even if the reasons are not true.  

Management doesn't focus on the good employees who are helping the business improve. They don't care about improving the storage room organization and efficiency. When you offer suggestions/ recommendations on improving the business, management turns down your ideas instead of taking them into consideration. There are also workplace politics within Astreya. 

Like other reviews have stated this company only praises their favorites. If you are not a favorite then you don't exist and your hard work does not matter. Even if you are working harder than your co workers. There were days I was working on my days off and outside of my work hours from home to improve my projects. 

There is a high turnover at this company. It's hard to build a good relationship with your boss due to the high turn around. Pay is not competitive compared to other companies. 

This is the MOST unprofessional company I have ever worked for. The turnover is the highest I have ever seen in all the years of my career in high tech. Employees are fired or laid off for justifiable and unjustifiable reasons. The CEO (President) is a coward. He is NEVER around when someone is terminated. This company ONLY praises their "Favorites" everyone else who works hard is NOT acknowledged. I have seen a pattern and that is people are hired and once the company gets all they need out of that individual than they are let go. A lot of people voluntary quit for new opportunities because the corporate culture is the worst. There were some genuinely nice people there but most of them have left the company due to the unprofessional culture. You can't trust management here. Avoid at all costs.

This job was a lot of fun and a unique experience. Lots of people dream of working at Google, so I took this opportunity as soon as I saw it. I worked in the San Francisco office as opposed to the main Google campus in Mountain View. I had a lot of fun in San Francisco and met a lot of cool people. Some of my co-workers were really cool people whom I still talk to and meet up with occasionally. Others were fairly incompetent and eventually made me hate going in on some days. One part of my particular job was that I had to come in early, before most of the other employees, in order to inspect and fix conference rooms. The most enjoyable part of working for Astreya was the cool people I met and hanging out with them at the Google office. The hardest part was dealing with the monotonous day-to-day schedule, which became grueling and plain not fun.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management actually took an interest in the employees and did their best to put teams together to be effective in the workplace making sure to use everyone’s strengths to benefit the overall department.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting laid off from a job I felt like a family towards.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family works together to achieve a common goal.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would be at work an hour early, from there I would inquire what needed to be done, I was then given a list of projects needing to be completed by clock out time from my supervisor prior to talking to my team, all breaks and lunches were taken together, we’d finish the work before end of shift in enough time to clean up and then it was clock out time until the next day

Astreya is an amazing organization connected to dozens of recognizable corporations that provides client support across multiple industries. Unfortunately, they barely spend enough time to inspect state laws when managing their employees, let alone taking any time to see you working 50-100% harder than anyone else in your team.

At Astreya you are only seen as worth the role you begin with the company at, and any effort beyond the minimum is just extra work the company will cash in on without hesitation. 

This company is a solid pick if you want:
-unreachable management
-no sick time
-<$0.20 annual raises

This company is unable to even provide minimal ppe for their workers
Stay away unless you aspire to never be seen or appreciated as an employee again

The management (if you can even call them that) at this company is completely dysfunctional and immature. They act as though they are afraid of their employees, completely unwilling to communicate with them except after significant preparation, often putting off and redirecting conversation away from direct scrutiny. My direct management team was completely willing to take disciplinary action against me without any evidence to back up his claims but hearsay; when I asked for examples of wrong-doing, evidence of allegations, or even an explanation of what I had been reported for they were unwilling (read: unable) to provide any. Unless you feel comfortable working in an ever changing, non-commital, and paranoia riddled environment you need not apply.

     They manage by fear and guidance is a joke. The supposed 'Manager' I had didn't even know how to perform his assigned duties and was obviously unqualified to manage an ant farm let alone people, so he was unable to productively manage a team. He just yelled at you if you did not understand a procedure or process because he didn't know how to do it himself and he expected you to figure it out, so he could then speak to the bosses as if he knows how to do it all ( butt- kisser). We, the team, tolerated him because his upper management was infamous for making people cry by screaming at them when issues needed addressing. Screw ups, move up at this disorganization. There is no enjoyment working for intimidating bullies. They fire or intimidate anyone that brings up concerns instead of addressing them.
