I don't always think reverting to a Glassdoor review is the best option, but when your employees are told to basically get off the bus, or your'e not cut out for a startup for bringing up valid concerns or complaints you're really just forcing people to go outside of the company walls to have their voices heard. Even though I wouldn't be surprised if this review gets a comment from HR about how they wish people would have come to them first. (Like you'll see in other negative reviews). But maybe they've seen how bad that looks and have stopped doing that. You're making a culture where people don't trust HR or leadership because they've seen people get slowly pushed out for not drinking the kool-aid 24/7. Tha'ts not anything new either. It's been this way for a while. Leadership tries to be authentic but all you hear from the CTO is how he knows Jeff Bezos and the CMO and him are friends from before so it's basically a bro's club. They decided to split up the two companies officially (Drip and Leapdages) and let the CFO from Leadpages manage that side of the company and he's the only one I think who knows his stuff and is trying to do all he can to salvage a dying company and clean up the messes that the rest of the leadership team caused. I don't think anyone left in HR has any real HR background and they hardly seem human or genuine. Telling people you're a company that works hard and plays hard is just a red flag. It's like you're expecting them to do whatever they can for the company and in return you give them some happy hours or company outings. How about you invest that money in providing better health benefits? They talk about being scrappy and how working at a start-up is a lifestyle choice but that's just to cover up the fact that they don't know what they're doing other than burning cash at an alarming rate on whatever new marketing campaign they want to shove down people's throats. The company has always focused on marketing a product that is not able to do what they say it can. Marketing is always the main focus but if you don't deliver a product that does what it says it should do you'll only keep making angry and upset customers that will leave for one of the many other competitors out there.

Hi! Almost everything has changed about Drip in the past 12 months and the changes are not for everyone. We have lost some people and it's true, we have encouraged some others to leave when it's become clear that this is not the right environment for them. That being said, we've also hired some really amazing people (almost 100 people now!) most of which are thriving and growing (we have a 28.5% internal promotion rate!). For Drip to be successful, we need a team of people that love learning and growing, which means things are not always documented or defined - we're building the plane while we're up in the air. Drip is a high growth startup where everyone is empowered to solve problems and make improvements. Some people don't operate well in environments that are fast-paced, ambiguous, and constantly changing (growth requires frequent change) and that is ok, but you probably won't like working at Drip then. We're not perfect, and we do make mistakes, but we care hard about our team and customers and so far we're growing fast and doing our best to get better every day.
