Checkr reviews

While I understand the need to focus on efficiency and cost savings, we are running very lean on some teams. I'm hoping this year brings more budget for resourcing so those teams feel supported and can support the rest of the business. Products are launching and changing every day. We need more ongoing enablement across the board to keep up with the changes and help us onboard new hires in a remote environment.

- Low pay. The base is around the average or below average of similar companies around the Bay Area. The equity portion in terms of dollars is extremely low relative to all companies in the Bay Area. Do not let them sell you on how the equity will grow in the future. - Highly political. Management will make nonsensical decisions based on office politics, e.g. making themselves look good or protecting their own backs at the expense of sacrificing their subordinates. - Highly hierarchal. The "leadership team" must be worshipped at all times otherwise if you ever stepped on their toes even once despite having sound reason, you are at risk of being managed out the company in the near future. Avoid interacting with the "leadership team" at all costs otherwise you might end up in their crosshair. - No upwards career mobility. There is a lack of clear path to level up in many current roles. Management will throw smokes and mirrors at you about saying you have to do this and that. But at the end of the day, getting promoted really depends on whether or not the manager likes you. - High degrees of nepotism. If you work there for just a few months, you will start seeing certain group cliques. If you do not belong in one of them, good luck on getting raises, promotions, or even having job safety. - No help from HR. I don't really know why we have them? They tend to be really reactive to things. Other than getting paid to do damage control on Glassdoor with petty responses and fake reviews, they don't really do much to help the employees. Do not approach them if you can. - Lack of transparency. Constant streams of layoffs were unanticipated and people were let go without any warnings. Transparency is one of the "core" values. Why not just remove it from the "core" values instead of hypocritically preaching it for marketing purposes? - Constant streams of layoffs. - People from the "leadership team" getting fired or leaving in a periodical basis. The amount of times Checkr showcases a vignette of a person getting hired into the "leadership team" and then having them leave in less than 1 year is laughable.
