Smart people, high growth - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Wagmo

Fast-paced, hardworking group, friendly & loves pets. The team is very passionate about helping pets and putting forth good work.

Some decisions are made without consulting how long it might take on the engineering side, which can be frustrating. Instead of hiring additional staff or promoting within, team members are stretched thinner to cover the load. Also, it often feels almost expected to work overtime/weekends to hit deadlines. Leading to burnout and low team morale. Benefits are bare minimum, but it is a startup.

The mission is catchy and can seem exciting

Be very, very careful taking a job here. As others have mentioned, the leadership team is extremely toxic. The CEO and COO love to say "operate without ego", but I have never met two individuals with bigger egos. It's a cultish power struggle, especially for the COO. She finds joy in bullying employees, instilling fear, and she's consistently shaming teammates in public. No one on the executive team can make up their minds either, so you're constantly chasing a moving target. It's by far the worst place I have ever worked, and I am so happy to have gotten out when I did.
