Nice NYC skyline views. Some smart, genuine people are still left.
Svantaggi
Oh, how things have changed. I'd been at Jet for a while. It's certainly not the same as before. Problems in no special order: A few reviewers have alluded to the fact that Jet has been unjustly and swiftly pushing people out through performance reviews and improvement plans. I've seen it happen to many close colleagues. We have far too many crappy managers who don't know how to grow and invest in there direct reports. The oldest people here are in their late 20s/early 30s and because Jet was promoting heavily pre-acquisition a lot of them who happened to be strong performers took on senior/managerial roles. Being a good employee doesn't necessarily mean you'd make a good leader... Our "brand" sucks and the persona we're trying to pivot to is honestly annoyingly pretentious, non-relatable, and non-aspirational. So many people at Jet have voiced this but it falls in deaf ears. Our Product Team is essentially gone. Most have moved on to bigger and better things. Engineering Teams are a whole other issue entirely. The Walmart Acquisition essentially sucked all of our talent, tech, and resource. It's a shame. But what's worse is that as much as they've claimed to have kept our two brands separate that's not the case. What's really happened is that Walmart has replicated our pricing strategy, our brand, our site design, our image, and essentially everything that made us, US. The end goal, whether Marc Lore reveals it or not, was for Walmart to absorb us and have it become who we were two years ago. Everyone talks about leaving. EVERYONE. At the very least most people have thought about it. People are leaving in droves or deciding to remain complacent for a check. Senior management doesn't seem to have a clear cut strategy on how to stay relevant in the competitive e-commerce landscape.
