Pros

Lol lol lol lol lol

Cons

There are some major -and I mean major- issues at this company when it comes to diversity. I don't know if "diversity theater" is a term, but it should be. No amount of diversity blog posts and pet projects can change the underlying culture. This was difficult to come to terms with and makes my blood boil. The "cool startup" narrative is false, and it is used to justify being cheap. But hey, at least you'll get a lot of t shirts and other free plastic garbage! Maybe if they reallocate the t-shirt and sticker budget, they could bring one whole employee up to their market value. The best part of the past year is watching leadership Pikachu face while droves of people quit. I wouldn't count on this 200 IQ big-brain leadership team to figure out why, though. Employees have to deal with a bunch of incompetent middle managers who couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper bag. It leads to a lot of toxic behavior because tenure is too highly valued. I have never felt so disrespected and belittled. Even senior leaders seem way in over their heads to me. On my particular team, the micromagement is severe. Highly educated and skilled people have been transformed into mindless paper pushers. It's soul crushing, and it makes you wonder why you even try to care about your job. If I could describe the company culture in one word, it would be: panic. I hope that the people who left are all finally getting a chance to get a good night's sleep and take care of themselves.

Pros

Amazing team and culture who want you to succeed in your position. I have received ample training and have strong support each day in my role. Being a remote role is important to me; however, you need a strong and cohesive team for it to work. WebPT is all of that!

Cons

Being a fully remote role, this requires more time when learning/training as you are not sitting in the same office as co-workers. This affected me as I was changing careers. If you are not changing careers, this would not be an issue.

Pros

* Remote work flexibility. * Talented, dedicated employees who genuinely care about each other and the customers.

Cons

The company has undergone multiple rounds of layoffs while executive compensation remained substantial, creating a significant disconnect between leadership and employees. Employees watched coworkers lose their jobs while executives received sizable annual bonuses. Regardless of the business rationale, the optics were damaging and reinforced the perception that protecting executive compensation was a higher priority than protecting employees and preserving the culture. Morale has steadily declined, and the culture that once made this company stand out has largely disappeared. There is virtually no work-life balance. Employees are expected to remain available regardless of personal circumstances, and the pressure to always be “on” has become normalized. During my time there, I found myself working from a hospital and even from the funeral home while making arrangements after my mother’s passing because the expectation to stay connected never seemed to stop. No employee should feel that work takes priority over moments like those. Transparency is lacking, communication often feels one-sided, and employees are frequently asked to do more with fewer resources. Many of the people who built the company’s culture are gone, and leadership has failed to replace that sense of purpose with a clear vision for the future. Perhaps most concerning, employee trust has been severely damaged. Current employees should know that employee engagement surveys are not anonymous, despite being presented that way. Survey responses can be tied back to individual employees, making many people understandably hesitant to provide honest feedback. An organization cannot expect candid input when employees believe their responses can be identified.
