Run away! Poor leadership, politics, toxic

Anonymous employee

Pros

Some of the people you work with will be fantastic. Pay was decent.

Cons

Leadership is inexperienced, thinks hiring from big tech is a magic bullet (how many Salesforce people can you fit at Checkr?), and has successful revenue metrics in spite of itself so they pat themselves on the back. Highly political environment, everyone is afraid they're going to get fired and looks out for #1. Tenure is ridiculously short, and people who have been there for any length of time look broken and helpless. Don't work here.

Hot Mess! Incompetent leadership and toxic environment

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good at higher levels of organization. Health benefits are good.

Cons

The CEO is extremely inexperienced, ego-driven and micromanages every aspect of the business. The c-staff enable this behavior and tend to overestimate their competence levels. Many people throughout the organization are aware of this dynamic and the resulting employee engagement levels are incredibly low. Employee attrition is off the charts, with people jumping ship at the earliest opportunity. The faux virtue signaling Checkr does to build an image of a benevolent company is a joke when you come to understand how toxic, political, and mismanaged the place is. From what I saw, I believe that to take the company public, the board will need to replace the CEO and c-staff. If you value your sanity and health, I recommend avoiding this place.
