Vantaggi
I can truly say that I love the regular employees that I work with. With all the craziness that is going on at Crelate right now they are the bright light and we trauma bond our way through things daily. Middle management are good people who care about their employees and want to be there to help you. Remote first company which is nice (but is really more about them just being cheap).
Svantaggi
It is so heartbreaking to see what is happening at Crelate right now. It comes to light more and more each day just how incompetent and ill equipped senior leadership is. The CEO has all of these grand vision product ideas but the team can’t execute on any of them or release on time. He doesn’t listen to customers and he doesn’t listen to employees because he thinks he always knows best. The arrogance he has results in poor decisions being made and him constantly changing direction and never giving the team clear direction. Its chaos all the time. The President of the company likes to give long speeches during company meetings that are meant to be inspiring and motivational but he falls way short on putting it into action. He likes to say that we are a “people first organization” but our culture falls apart more and more each day and our people go unheard and are constantly made to feel devalued. Our people are treated as an expendable resource. People are so overworked. Everyone is constantly asked to do way more with way less and it is causing burnout everywhere you look. We work non stop and there is no recognition or empathy from the CEO or the President about the culture and environment they have created. We never hit our goals or timelines for releases and it’s pretty much the norm. The CEO preaches about our core values of trusting each other and acting like owners of the business but then doesn’t allow for it when it is inconvenient to him or what he wants to do. At this point it feels like the damage senior leadership has done to the company is irreversible.
