Pros

None. None. None None None

Cons

Toxic culture. Leadership team is terrible. You will never know what will be your last day. Managers prefer micro management. You will never be appreciated. You will only get a slice of pizza's as appreciation. In my tenure I have seen good employees let go and bad one’s promoted.

Our business transformation has led to a lot of change, this has impacted some teams more than others. Reading your review, we’re saddened to hear about your experience. However, looking at the data of our mid-year (anonymous) engagement survey, your experience does not seem to reflect the experience the majority of our employees have. We asked the following questions - I feel valued at work. - My performance is evaluated fairly. - In the last seven days, I have received recognition or praise for doing good work. - I have a positive relationship with my manager. - My manager gives me actionable feedback on a regular basis. - My manager supports me in my work. and, the majority of our employees gave positive responses. That being said, given managers' impact, we recognize we can do better. This is why we’ve just launched our Remarkably Better Leadership program.

Pros

Brilliant and supportive team members Great physical product

Cons

Founders who are very unclear and not taking on decisions over what their business strategy needs to be in order to grow and scale. Because they do not want to take clear decisions, it makes it challenging for teams to align and work together towards common goals, leading to redundant products, projects and employee turmoil.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review here. I hope you were able to attend our Q2 All-Hands meeting, where our Senior Leadership Team shared our business direction, financial performance and areas of focus going forward to ensure we’re maintaining our momentum. If you missed this meeting, it was recorded and I highly recommend viewing it. Additionally, if you have concerns and a lack of alignment, please speak to your manager directly about them. If their answers are not sufficient then reach out to our founders directly - Aamir and Andy. Both not only welcome but crave honest, direct feedback, without sugarcoating the truth.

Depends on department

Pros

- Base pay was competitive

Cons

- Your experience will vary drastically depending on what department you work in. Some people are very happy, if they work for the right ream. Other teams will have incredibly high turnover due to bad working conditions. - Helicopter management, favoritism, inappropriate comments made by upper management - No work-life balance. Long hours with empty promises for days in lieu

Without knowing which department you experienced this in its difficult to lend perspective or direct this feedback to the correct channels. Having said that, in addition to bi-annual surveys, increased frequency of all-hands and weekly 1:1s we’re always looking for feedback from our Particles on how we can improve their experience. We take this very seriously. Our 360 reviews offer us insight into our leadership team, how they’re doing and where we can address any issues to positively impact employee experience and increase accountabilty. This is still a journey, and we continue to invest in ways to make this balance remarkably better for Particles. - Carlyn
