Svantaggi
The first time a met these these people in real life, a convo broke out among a small group that included a few managers (mine included) about how they had worked at jobs where: you couldn’t trust anyone and everyone was fake friends. That’s exactly what I experienced with these people. My manager threw me under the bus the second I tried to have a candid private conversation with him. Instead of being a person who I could trust, confide in, have my back, he treated me like his child. I was handed passive aggressive compliments reserved for a second grader from top people. I was on the receiving end of sexual advances at their bi-yearly conference Hangtime and was sub sequentially trolled on slack in the aftermath.
They have a bad corporate culture, and they’ve tried to cover it up by implementing an employee point system that yields you gift cards. Working for Dribbble reads like a remote version Office Space or an episode of Black Mirror. All the tweets and medium posts saying how great it is to work for them is just propaganda to cover up the truth.
During weekly calls, they’d trout out the same old tired mission statement about how they’re a platform to help designers. Spend 2 seconds on that. Then they spend 20+ minutes talking about the company financials.
The CEO Zack Onisko is misleading.
When a potential new hire reach out to me, the CEO asked me to SELL him on the positive parts of Dribbble. I guess simply TELLING somebody on the benefits of working for Dribbble wasn’t good enough.
