Pros

Diverse leadership team. Friendly employees and team members. Severance package.

Cons

Lack of transparency. Currently performing layoffs due to “low performance” right before raises, while they were sharing how we can tighten our financial belt. Others have been told their positions are redundant and are having “mutual separations”. Lack of conversations prior to this “low performance” layoff, feels forced, unfair and biased. Good time to leave though as It doesn’t sound like I would have had much of a growth here as pay is also being reduced. Upcoming performance cycle and our manager shared that pay ranges dropped 20-25% and to not expect a standard raise. This should be communicated out from leadership to all employees. Other teams In the company aren’t even aware of this yet. Why is this not being shared and why are employees not being informed around how their salaries are going to be impacted? Why are well performing folks being let go? Why are folks not being invested in to improve?

Thanks for the tough and critical feedback, and I agree we're working through some bumps in the road. I also agree that transparency is key, and our leadership team is working through planning and changes to market conditions in real time - there is no initiative to actively hide anything. And while it's true that we've adjusted our pay ranges to be more fiscally responsible, it's completely untrue that ranges dropped 20-25%. Some ranges were brought down, and there were even some roles where ranges went up. It's always difficult to make tough decisions around role redundancy and performance management, and like most companies, Checkr is still figuring out how to do it best. I will ensure your feedback gets delivered to estaff and otherwise wish you well in your next journey. - Arthur / Recruiting

Be cautious before choosing this company

Pros

I am sorry but I have no positive comments for Checkr, except that I had a few nice colleagues.

Cons

Checkr is a company that does not value their employees and I can relate to those who have mentioned in previous reviews that HR is cold and unhelpful. I also find the executives and even down to the administrative team to be an unprofessional, egotistical and cliquish group. I was very sad to see other employees get let go due to not being a fit within weeks or even a few months, this is not right. Hiring and firing decisions are more personal than based on professional performance. Be very cautious because this can happen to anyone without any notice.

Sorry you didn't have a good experience here. I disagree that hiring/firing are personal, but I know that's hard to see when you're on the other side of it. We do believe in a high performance culture here, and we want to move quickly if the fit isn't right. But I know that we do our best to give people a softer landing, and our severance policies are better than most companies in tech. Wish you luck in your next role. - Arthur / Recruiting
