Pros

- No expectation of long hours - Many “business closed” days throughout the year - Paid sabbaticals

Cons

- The three founders who are still in charge don’t like to make decisions but also don’t like to delegate decisions to other leaders. Sometimes a charismatic person rises up and gets something done but mostly they let employees wander around directionless and hope for the best. It shows in the product quality. - Pay is mediocre. Meaningful raises only happen when top performers leave or threaten to. - They acquire 2-3 companies per year. They get glued on to the main products without being integrated so it’s a huge, stressful mess. - Seems to be all about the Sales department. Huge organization and they have this “Champions Club” where most of them go on a company-paid vacation every year. - Company hasn’t been profitable in years

Pros

-Positive Business Outlook: Users love Hudl and it's a very forward-thinking product that has a great place in the future -Values-led culture/norms: People are at the heart of how we operate -Very talented overall workforce: Our bar on hiring is super high and performance management process works if there are clear underperformers. -People genuinely get along with each other for the moist part - far better than most organizations with huge silo walls.

Cons

-Decision-making bottleneck at exec-team level with some pretty hands on leaders in the weeds on too much. -Some teams are quite top-heavy, a poor micro-culture on the team, and have less accountability than they should (Finance/Accounting specifically) -We can settle on talent in key roles that is in a key hub where we have an office since less remote hiring is approved.

Pros

Cool projects and impactful work

Cons

The engineering culture lately has been very speed focused. We seem to prioritize velocity over thoughtful implementation and quality. Team dynamics can vary significantly depending on the squad you’re on, and in some cases the environment can feel highly competitive rather than collaborative. Overtime is becoming more common and it's unspoken. There can also be pressure to move quickly and keep up with fast timelines, which may not suit people who prefer a more structured and balanced engineering environment. The company removed timeout days so now we're constantly in meetings or getting pinged 24/7 in Slack. My days have less focus time and the constant Slack huddles and messages are becoming more disruptive overtime, but it's because there's so much pressure to move fast. Sprints are starting to feel like hackathons, rather than balanced.
