Pros

Checkr's a good product and 90%+ of the people there are great - collaborative, friendly. Pay is good.

Cons

Leadership at Checkr causes major issues that permeate the company - toxic culture. Daniel, the founder and CEO, has single highhandedly created a culture of anxiety and fear. Daniel regularly belittles and demeans his people in large meetings. Numerous employees expressed anxiety and lack of psychological safety in the company. He's incredibly insecure and egotistic and anything can set him off. You can be a great business leader or a great human being - unfortunately, Daniel is neither. Rest of leaders support this behavior by inaction.

Pros

- immediate coworkers and management was good. Decent pay, but careful for pushing for too much. Was repeatedly told I was at the top of the pay band for senior and shouldn't expect much in terms of raises. Feels like that put a target on my back as someone who they could cut to save a lot of salary.

Cons

Fired 32% of their employees and then is posting jobs to fill engineering positions. Seems like if there was any forethought they would've fired less and moved people into those roles. Or perhaps people decided to leave after having watched Checkr reduce their benefits and and change their remote friendly working policies. Not much room to grow career wise unless it is in responsibilities and work load but not title and pay. Shifts in focus, priorities and reorganization of teams take place frequently. You will get a lower annual review if you work on things that do not directly generate revenue, even though your engineering and product managers tell you what they want you working on and you don't have much choice which team/focus you are on. In the end no matter how much you contribute and how good of a worker you are, you are entirely reliant on C-staff to not mismanage the company resulting in reductions in the workforce. Which unfortunately they have done repeatedly!!
