Pros

Great staff who create miracles despite the mushroom treatment.

Cons

Other posts like this one "...People who joined the company with the aim of transforming the way of working or implementing structure either gave up and left or were terminated when they didn't see eye to eye with the existing management...." was exactly my experience. I received many complimentary messages when I was terminated eg "...You won’t believe I have tears in my eyes. This is not motivating us to work for fourth anymore. We had so much hopes. We never had a manager whom we liked so much and had the comfort level, most of all you gave us hopes to work differently. Don’t understand where fourth is leading.... "

Whilst I am very pleased you have recognised our incredible employees, I am of course disappointed to hear about your experience at Fourth. One of the things we are super proud of is that our technology has the ability to actually transform businesses and the customer experience. For this reason, we always strive to bring that same quality to the way we approach challenges, how we improve our structure/processes and generally how we make Fourth a better company for our customers and our employees. If you would like to talk about this in more detail, please feel free to contact me directly.

Pros

Very few pros come to mind, there were some great people on the individual contributor level I worked with across multiple teams however many left or are on their way out.

Cons

This is a highly toxic and disorganized work environment. Leadership’s lack of knowledge, direction, and experience is apparent. When I started, leadership was disengaged and disconnected to everything. I noticed there was a sudden and obvious change in leadership’s approach where “urgent” asks from above were being requested with little to no context. Unrealistic and changing expectations started being communicated as the norm. This caused confusion, chaos, and burn out, resulting in extremely low morale across teams. Concerns and feedback were either ignored or people were penalized/suddenly terminated for speaking up. Lastly, it doesn’t go unsaid there is no work life balance or professional boundaries here. This is a work environment that sets people up for failure and can have a serious impact on overall well-being.
