It seemed like a nice place to work but the end was a bomb! - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Roomi

Roomi is a Series A company and having worked for a number of startups at multiple stages, I can say this: I know mistakes were made and people were unhappy. Roomi is a young company with young leaders; mistakes are inevitable. However, it seems Roomi is learning and growing from the lessons taught by those same mistakes. There are not many Series A companies out there that have Finance, HR, and Operations leadership - people with actual experience, not bloated tech titles that everyone else has. It shows me that they want to scale but do so in the right way, with the right people, and the right processes in place. I think it's amazing that they have proper performance management software, solid PTO, WFH Wednesdays, fully paid for benefits, a 401(k) account (no matching contributions though), etc. I've worked for companies who have been around for 10+ years that didn't offer some of these benefits. I know there's still a lot of progress to be made but I think Roomi is putting the right people in place to do that.

Everything takes time. With startups, a lot of things get stuck in "analysis paralysis" and things take longer than it should. I think Roomi's improving on this though. Internal communications need to be improved; they have 6 global offices and various remote employees and that can cause a bottleneck in communication. There needs to be more communication from leadership to the team.
