Pros

-Some really talented recruiters across the org, although losing most of them. -Access to a good amount of tools, proprietary ATS, Zoominfo, LI Recruiter and Hubspot. -Great Benefits

Cons

Jobot publicly preaches “kindness and respect” while privately leading one of the most dramatic startup flameouts in recent years. What began as a fast-growing company is ending in a storm of lawsuits, layoffs (aka "performance management"), and internal chaos. This story includes: -Hemorrhaging most the company (went from 800 to 300 in a year), gutting entire management layers. -Scrambling for a lifeline constantly (bridge loan after bridge loan). -Bait and Switch comp model just to get people to join -Major Favoritism -Fear based culture -Unpaid wages and continuous salary cuts -Defaulted vendor payments -Misuse of company funds and lavish spending -Employees pressured to lend money to leadership to keep the company alive -A manipulated public image built on smoke, mirrors, and deception This isn’t just a cautionary tale of poor leadership - it’s a window into: unchecked power, cult-like internal messaging, financial recklessness, and a founder who still claims moral high ground while lives and careers are left in the wreckage.

Pros

incredible 100% paid benefits and leadership, every other Friday off, truly one of the best organizations I have ever worked for

Cons

None, they keep making decisions to benefit our consultants, clients, and employees overall. I will be here until I retire :)

Pros

Fully remote, full autonomy, free Friday’s, incredible leaders and colleagues, the list goes on. I can’t say enough great things about this company. CEO is a brilliant woman and you’d never know or expect this in a company this size but she knows every single employee by name, whether you’re at the tippity top or barely moving the needle. Jobot is everything it claims to be, plain and simple. When they claim kindness and respect is the foundation of their company, they live by those words.

Cons

This isn’t necessarily a con but this industry is NOT for the weak. It is a grind and then some. If you are not willing to grind and work hard, this is not the job for you.
