Pros

nice office, smart peers, great perks

Cons

Management is awful- systemic racism and bias that HR covers up for terrible leaders. Makes employees sign NDA so they can't share how bad it really is. HR gets on Glassdoor to respond as quality control but trust the reviews! HR couldn't care less about people. Executive leaders all need to be fired with the exception of the good ones they let walkout.

Checkr Response
5y
Thanks for your tough and critical feedback and sorry to hear your experience leaving wasn't a good one. But for the record, no one asks/mandates me to respond to reviews - I do it so that people know it's being read and escalated internally. I've seen first hand the care and attention the People team puts into ensuring people are treated fairly. And our People team is made up almost entirely with people of color who care about fairness. I certainly don't believe Checkr is perfect - there are many, many areas of improvement that we need to address immediately, but we have always tried to show we care about people. Again, I'm sorry your experience felt contrary to this - but I wish you the best of luck in your next role and hope you and yours remain safe amidst this pandemic. - Arthur / Recruiting

Pros

Free food, coffee, fully stocked kitchen. The usual tech perks.

Cons

Too much transparency. I get let go after working one day because I made a casual comment about the beer stocked fridge and they take it as me not taking the job seriously so I'm not asked back to return.

Pros

- OK initial compensation if joined before 2022

Cons

- Incompetent and idiotic leadership - Since 2024 started multitudes of programs to agitate workers across the board to quit, to avoid layoffs/severance - Rapidly decreasing QoL such as reducing workers benefits and increasing costs (commute, parking, daycare) - Zero long-term career prospect, stingy when it comes to promotions, merit increases fall way behind of inflation - RSUs are fake monopoly money to boost compensation perception, no realistic plan to go IPO ever -Implemented RTO as a form of silent layoffs, 33% RIF shortly after -Gradually outsourcing its US workforce -Performance does not matter, only politics
