From my experience, leadership is fundamentally broken. Despite how it's presented on social media and what they tell you, the company evolved in such a way that only the leadership can be correct. Tangible and powerful feedback from those lower in the rungs were not received warmly, more made to feel like you're incorrect. It's hard to pin down to a singular reason, but the leadership does not work. There are members of leadership who are either under qualified, don't care or are simply terrible with people. Favoritism is something I saw quite a lot of. Some people quite simply got away with anything they wanted because that's their personality. Complaining as opposed to doing your job works well. Preaching about accountability on one hand and forgetting about it when it becomes inconvenient to provide negative feedback to employees who are for a variety of reasons "untouchable". Review system is broken. There have been team leads getting away with providing bad feedback and reviews with no evidence and they stick somehow? Makes no sense and appears cowardly. There is a systemic issue with communication between pretty much all departments who need to interact with each other. Being held in high regard by everyone you work with because of your ethic and ability gets you nowhere from experience. You could be the best or worst worker in the world, the only thing that matters is what crowd you're in with. It's sad.

Thank you for acknowledging some of the positives from your time with us. As for the cons I’m really sorry to hear that you felt this way. In my role I love to hear from the people across the business especially where there are tangible examples of where we can improve or possible solutions or ideas around how we can grow. There are multiple ways to give feedback in Teamwork including posting a “pitch” where your colleagues can contribute, a feedback system which allows for complete anonymous disclosure, and also I would encourage people to contact me, the CEO directly. We do welcome feedback and ideas but the reality is that we can’t always take all ideas or feedback onboard in making the decisions on how to run the business but that shouldn’t discourage people from contributing. "There are members of leadership who are either under qualified, don't care or are simply terrible with people." I would love to hear more about who you mean and why you feel this way. To any current employees reading this, we won’t be a great fit for everyone but nobody should ever feel that your leadership are uncaring so please don’t leave feelings like this fester and use the internal systems to give feedback or reach out to me directly. "Favoritism is something I saw quite a lot of… employees who are for a variety of reasons "untouchable”. I would love to know what managers and departments you mean and what you mean by untouchable. What I will say is this - managers must be fair to all employees and any issues reported such as you suggest will be investigated. I don’t remember seeing feedback on this sort of thing when you were here. That said, sometimes hindsight is 20/20 so I’ll take the feedback onboard. My ask to future and existing employees who read this is to never put up with issues like the ones suggested here, don’t leave things fester and take responsibility for helping us have the right type of culture. "Review system is broken." I think broken is a bit far. But I agree that it needs work and we have been working with all Team Leads on better performance reviews and are also working on overhauling the entire review system. "There is a systemic issue with communication between pretty much all departments who need to interact with each other." The biggest issue has been with a lack of communication around feature releases and timing and we now have a much better process in place that we are continually improving. Employees give feedback, we listen and work together to improve. " Being held in high regard by everyone you work with because of your ethic and ability gets you nowhere from experience. You could be the best or worst worker in the world, the only thing that matters is what crowd you're in with. It's sad." I would love to hear more and know what department you were in. I’m sorry you feel this way and it is certainly not what we want. Existing employees, again please come talk to me if you ever feel this way. Thanks for the advice. I wish you the best in your future career. My advice to you is to give clear feedback while in the job. If you feel you are unheard, don’t be afraid to escalate. Above all don’t leave negative feelings or questions fester.

Pto Flexibility depending on your manager

Svantaggi

They are trimming the fat so often you never know when you’ll be next. They are not going to have anything left. Getting rid of very talented people and restructuring annually with no plan at all. Are they going under, selling, or looking to be a small company again? Idk but something I not right
