Vantaggi

-The people! Hands down the biggest Pro. The company attracts a certain kind of person and there is a common thread (mostly) within the company of gracious, generous, and kind people. My coworkers were truly the reason I got out of bed every day. -Perks are good. Insurance isn't bad, nice 401(k) automatic match. The monthly Crafty box is a really nice touch!

Svantaggi

-The company doesn't walk its ambitious talk. Differing viewpoints (per the "Five Values") are actually not that welcome and if you don't go along with the prevailing thinking, you're marked as problematic. -Workloads are unmanageable. If you raise your hand for help, you're made to feel like it's a sign of weakness and that it's you who are the problem. High levels of stress and burnout are a reality at Crafty. -Toxic managers are tolerated despite complaints to upper management as well as the number of people who have quit and will continue to quit because of them. Management's inaction sends a clear message that they're not taking this seriously. -Lack of transparency and action from upper management on critical issues raised by employees. Feedback given in surveys and via other methods seems to go nowhere. Management is selective in how they respond and the thornier issues tend to get a hard pass.

Hi there. Thank you for sharing your feedback. It can be difficult to speak out, but I am grateful that you are. We encourage each and every one of our team members to feel empowered to provide feedback, whether direct, in our dedicated office hours, or indirect, within our people management software, and I take that feedback seriously. I want to let you know how much I appreciate how warmly you talk about the people at Crafty. I couldn’t agree more - our people are our greatest strength and making sure they are fulfilled and happy is a top priority. Looking ahead to 2024, we are making deeper investments in ongoing management and leadership training to ensure we are arming our people managers with the tools they need to handle issues that might arise on their teams. I am confident that this investment will result in more positive experiences for everyone at Crafty. We want to prepare our leaders with tools to do their jobs well and make sure that within our processes, the people they are managing are heard and appreciated. I also want to offer my ear to you or to anyone else who might be reading this. Please feel free to come to me (nate@craftydelivers.com). I believe in the processes we have built and continue to rebuild, but if something is not working for you, I am here. You can contact me via Slack or email, and I will do my best to find out how I can help. I also wanted to address your thoughts about feeling a lack of transparency around feedback and how we’re handling the responses we receive from employee surveys and anonymous Q&As. It’s important to us that we take the time and diligence needed to review employee surveys in depth to not only understand sentiment but also prioritize areas that require focus. We are currently working on creating new processes and systems to ensure our teams can speed up response time. So while this objective will not change, I do commit to more visibility to the wider organization in 2024. Lastly, I know there will be frustrations as we grow; it’s inevitable for any company. We want you to feel safe, empowered, and confident in your roles. I hope this response has been helpful in gaining some insight into our plans and goals for 2024, and that it reinforces that we know you are a valuable part of our team whose voice deserves to be heard. Thanks again, Nate. (nate@craftydelivers.com)

Vantaggi

Nice people to work with. Snacks in the office (but limited lunch).

Svantaggi

The company frequently adjusts headcount to align with growth, which can result in periodic layoffs. As a small startup, spending can outpace growth, leading to restructuring and course corrections. Limited long-term career growth or role advancement for those seeking to build a specialized skill set; better suited for short-term experience or trying new responsibilities. Some managers would benefit from stronger people-management and leadership skills. The company’s direction has not consistently aligned with market needs, which can create uncertainty about long-term stability (Return to work). At times, the company struggles to find its market fit, which may impact job security and growth prospects. The company is not a tech-focused organization, so technical roles may experience limited strategic direction and less developed leadership support. Technology initiatives may lack clear strategy, which can affect project outcomes and role growth in tech positions.
