Vantaggi

- Fully remote and inspired by admirable companies like Zapier - Many very nice people - I believe that the CEO Finbarr is genuinely a nice human being

Svantaggi

If these things matter to you, I think it's worth submitting this review to make it visible: - Company named Shogun founded by white guys that used to have samurai imagery on the homepage, which the cofounders and at least one director believe to be "cultural appreciation" - Director described hiring practices as a "meritocracy" when asked about not having inclusive hiring practices, implying that under-represented candidates are not qualified - Director shamed me about salary for no clear reason - Director pitted by skills against another teammate, fostering an unhealthy competitive working environment - Director always seemed defensive and more interested in propping himself up than developing a genuinely helpful manager-report relationship

Thank you for providing feedback. It's not always easy to do, and we appreciate you for taking the time to do so. After reading through your review, I want to highlight that what you experienced is not representative of our actual hiring practices nor culture at Shogun, which really saddens me. DEI is incredibly important at Shogun and is something our founders and leadership team have prioritized. DEI is one of the pillars that supports a major company OKR, and we believe that increasing DEI is not only the right thing to do but will also lead to even better company performance. With every role that we open, we invest considerable time and effort in building the most diverse talent pool possible. Increasing the diversity of our top of the funnel is on thing, and having a process that is structured, consistent, and attribute-focused (which greatly reduces bias and subjective candidate evaluation) is as important, if not more important. We have focused heavily on building a recruiting process that is equitable and allows us to evaluate our candidates fairly, and, as a result, we have seen very positive results with the diverse talent we have hired and retained. In our first year implementing our DEI-focused recruiting process, we have seen team member race/ethnicity diversity increase by 37% and gender diversity increase by 45%. As far as being shamed for your salary and feeling like you were part of a competitive working environment, these two experiences are also not representative of our values. Once again, I'm sorry to hear that the experience you had at Shogun was different from the supportive, empathetic, and respectful work culture so many Shogies experience at Shogun. We will continue to find ways to invest in DEI, create a growth culture, and build a company where team members can do their best work while feeling valued and appreciated. - VP of People (Mattie)
