Pros

Checkr is the first company I have worked at that truly believes in and follows their mission and values. They treat employees with the same respect as their clients and it is a privilege to be part of this “family”. Management continues to be transparent as we grow which helps moral stay strong.

Cons

No cons at this time other than be careful growing so fast as to not lose the culture that has been instilled

Pros

Beautiful office views Free lunch Flexible PTO

Cons

Inexperienced CEO Extremely high Product & Engineering turnover No long term vision, alway changing and still remains unclear Zero job security and no Growth Opportunity "Transparency" is a catch phrase but not valued or practiced Ruthless, unannounced, & unsubstantiated layoff of 3/4 Customer Success team (Directors & Managers included) Too huge reliance on TWO customers, both of which are UNHAPPY and exploring alternative technologies

Thanks for your tough, critical feedback. That being said, I do believe we have a clearer vision for the future that we'll all be working towards. And while there was some turnover in Q4, much of it was performance and skills mismatches, not a layoff. I agree that we have a ton of growth and improvement ahead of us, and hope you'll be a part of getting us there. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have other concerns. - Arthur / People Team
