Pros

Pros: The team itself was friendly and supportive. Good branding.

Cons

Cons: The company culture felt cultish at times. While the focus on Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) was positive in theory, it sometimes overshadowed the actual work and became the main focus. The company environment felt very political. It seemed like having the "right connections" was more important than strong performance. There were two layoffs in less than a year, which felt inconsistent with the company's outward image. They continued to post about hiring sprees and luxurious events like trips to Cannes or President's Club retreats. The acquisition of the Interseller team was poorly handled. Despite being a thriving company, the entire team was let go and the product was abandoned. The team was also never fully integrated, and they seemed excluded from important meetings and company-wide events.

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback and reflecting on your time at Greenhouse. First let me say that I’m sorry to hear that your experience didn’t live up to our high expectations. It’s good to know that you found the team to be friendly and supportive, and that you appreciated the branding. However, I can see as well that there were aspects of the culture and company environment that didn’t resonate with you. One thing in particular that you mentioned (the balance between the 'actual work' vs broader cultural programming), echoes themes from inside the company. You may be interested to know that we have actually put some clearer guidelines around ERG activities to help employees better manage the focus on the business with our commitment to ERG's. Those changes seem to be having a very positive effect within the org. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I hope you find a place where the culture and environment better align with your expectations and needs.

Pros

The culture is unmatched and the leadership at Greenhouse truly cares about its employees. It’s refreshing to work with a customer base that enjoys our product. I really believe in the direction of the company and the improvements that we’re making to the product. Everyone I work with is awesome and I’m incredibly happy here.

Cons

I think the comp plan needs to be reevaluated. There’s a lot that is out of your control, and it isn’t setup in such a way that you can blow out your numbers and really overachieve your OTE. I think it was setup for a time when the company was a lot smaller, and the AMs had very large books of business. My only real gripe with Greenhouse is that we are paid commission quarterly instead of monthly, but I enjoy the company so much that I can overlook it.

Pros

Great fringe benefits and good at hiring kind, helpful individuals

Cons

1. Culture changed very significantly during my time there, becoming more cutthroat and less aligned with why I joined in the first place. In a way, I felt pushed out and like I had to leave as a result. 2. Macroeconomic and industry shifts resulted in job instability and cycling layoffs as mentioned in other reviews. 3. Some senior leaders started as entry-level employees, and while that career growth is nice to see, not only does it no longer feel possible at Greenhouse, but that those same employees are increasingly ill-equipped to navigate the challenges that the business is experiencing given their lack of exposure. This was especially clear to me in CS and Product. At the same time, turnover at lower levels was very high during my time there, even with great employees, but never much acknowledgment of it. 4. Product is falling behind Ashby and other competitors.
