Pros

Great team I was working with, excellent flexibility to work from home, vacation, sick time, etc. Very few companies in Van offering that kind of flexibility, does not come without cost however.

Cons

Poor communication between teams, was always fighting and suggesting more communication, with no success. P&C team was slow to make decisions because SLT wanted their hand in everything, was not able to work independently, didn't seem like senior leaders trusted functions to make their own decisions. Unsure of who made forecasting decisions but hopefully they were part of the layoffs because they were a huge contributing factor to Article's troubles. Always in crisis-mode (need more people during pandemic, shipping costs skyrocketing, changing prices then rolling back, not making enough money based on forecasts, etc.) but doing pet projects, wasting resources and taking on more risk (aloe furniture?)

We appreciate you sharing your experience. Happy to hear that our the WFH arrangement and benefits continue to contribute to a positive work/life balance. Hypergrowth shed light on the areas we need to improve, and we’ve been taking action using Particle (employee) feedback from 1 on 1’s with managers, annual 360 reviews of leadership, All-Hands, and Engagement Surveys. We encourage you to use these channels to share your feedback on an ongoing basis. However, we also know we’re not for everyone. Tech plays a large role in Articles vision, and our business is very dynamic, as a result we will continue to prioritize and repriortize work based on business needs. - Carlyn
