Thank you for leaving a review. We’re always happy to hear that our teams and culture make for a positive employee experience for our Particles. The recent changes were hard, we parted ways with some truly exceptional people. Our People & Culture team and Particle Alumni Slack community are working hard to support our impacted employees through this transition to ensure that they land somewhere great. - Carlyn

Poor execution of good intentions

Pros

- Flexible schedules - Leadership seem to care about employees - Good discount & nice product

Cons

-Leadership is not prioritizing the right things at the right time. For example, rolling out (an overly complex) operating model *before* creating the foundational vision + strategy required to steer the company through growth & market fluctuations -Leadership did not seem to hear or act on feedback. Concerns regarding a lack of strategy & confusing rollout of an overly complex operating were voiced by many, but it took an achingly long time for leadership to even acknowledge the issues. -Win Together is a principle Article holds dear, but the necessary flip side of making mistakes together wasn’t honoured. Win together doesn’t work if we blame individuals for the outcome’s of entire projects. -There are a lot of other day-to-day challenges that I’m not going to list out because I think what I’ve already shared are the core issues driving other problems

Thank you for leaving a review, we appreciate your honestly. While we were extremely fortunate to experience the growth that happened during the past two years, we were not alone in the eCommerce and Tech industries impacted by a changing market. The pandemic has been incredibly difficult for every business, and we do our best to navigate that ever-changing landscape, however, it led to some very hard but necessary decisions to restore our position of financial strength.
