      Great people, Poor leadership

      Pros

      Some amazing people, great product, fully remote as long as you're not within commuting distance of an office space.

      Cons

      There are very few leaders in leadership. Managers+ are promoted based on how long they have been there, and not based on any sort of merit (see pretty much ALL of the PeopleOps team). For a company that is as old as it is, there is such poor communication between departments. Nothing is documented, there are no proper metrics for success and growth, no training or development, and managers are completely clueless as to how to support their employees. The email announcing the layoffs (which we were PROMISED were not happening) was also cold and unfeeling- ChatGPT could have written it with more compassion.

      This company is struggling

      Pros

      Intelligent, hard-working people that are fun to work with. Frontline & middle management is supportive and great. Competitive pay & benefits. Unlimited PTO.

      Cons

      Repeated poor decision-making by senior leadership has led to a general lack of trust, which in turn has impacted morale. Significant differences between strategy set by leadership and actual reality for employees. Lack of alignment between departments and poor communication from leadership has employees & managment in chaos. Lack of investment in training, resources, and support to help employees & managers adapt to changes in strategy puts them in a very challenging and frustrating situation. Basic operational issues constantly causing headaches for employees, which the company continues to not prioritize solving. Frequent changes made with little time to adapt before next change is made. Overall it seems like this company is flailing.
