Cutthroat environment that focuses on sales more than the people or the product.

Pros

CEO is nice, welcoming, and always available. Nice facilities. Smart coworkers. Upfront about what they value in employees (Hoagies). They honor continued learning and the company creates a great product.

Cons

They fire often, without reason, which makes a lot of people scared for their job. I worked in support and marketing and never felt valued enough financially to want to put my heart in the job. They will pay you the smallest amount possible. Also, if you're on a lower job like marketing or support, there is hardly room to improve the company and be heard. Those positions are expendable and any sort of desired change from an employee is considered not worth the effort. After learning how cutthroat Faithlife is, I sought out a different job and my life is exponentially better now that I don't have to fight for myself and that I now feel valued. It was difficult to love my job at Faithlife.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review; I'm sorry you felt like this was a cutthroat environment. We are a high-performance organization, and we do value Awesomeness and Growth. That does create pressure and doesn't make it a safe place to just 'put in time.' But it should also be a place where people who live out those values see great rewards for doing so. I'm sorry you didn't feel that way. You say that you 'never felt valued enough financially to want to put my heart in the job'. Is it possible there was a 'chicken and the egg' situation here? I don't know... I think the stats demonstrate that we don't fire often, relative to how many people we have, but with 450+ people, even a 5% turnover rate can make it feel like people are leaving all the time. I'm sorry that you felt the need to leave, but I'm glad that you found a different position that sounds like a great fit for you, and I wish you the best. Thanks again for taking time to provide this feedback. We'll try to take the lessons to heart. -- Bob

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. The layoffs at the start of this year were disappointing for all of us. Of course they did reflect some mistakes, and we've worked hard to correct those mistakes and to ensure we won't repeat them. But they also reflect changes in our business and market, which we can't always predict or control. We value Growth, and a side-effect of that is that getting caught off guard sometimes. We are instituting more formal career road maps in some departments, and instituting new planning tools. I don't want to repeat those mistakes either!

Pros

Bellingham is an awesome little city. And some truly great people do work at Faithlife.

Cons

Oh, where to begin? Multiple people who have now left the company, including myself, are coping with repercussions of working for unsteady, unfair, and unethical leadership. This includes workplace trauma that manifests itself years later, PTSD, and other mental health issues stemmed from problematic leadership at this company. On paper, working for Faithlife looked really good. Unlimited vacation? (Spoiler alert: it’s not.) flexible working hours and WFH options before it was the norm? (Also, no.) A collaborative and healthy environment where there is growth opportunity? (Um. Nope! We’ll get to that.) In reality, Faithlife is a company attempting to hold on to the startup vibes when it is way beyond that. Because of this, it’s hindering itself and its employees. One of the biggest concerns was the lack of HR/“employee services” as a functioning department. Because of the lack of this functionality, there were so many issues that we’re simply not okay and never properly addressed. I witnessed inappropriate jokes, threats, verbal abuse, blatant sexism, and blame placed unfairly. Departments were also prioritized over others. For instance, some revealed that Dev salaries were significantly higher than Marketing. This caused a lot of tensions when underfunded departments were told that “there was no money for raises” and that they should be grateful to get 2-3% as top performers. The lack of transparency regarding salaries is alarming and caused a lot of grief. Faithlife had layoffs in 2015 that left a negative lasting imprint on those left behind. Lots of employees operated off of the fear of being let go unexpectedly, and management did little to attempt to quell that culture. I have heard from others that the culture has progressively gone downhill since the CEO was asked to step away. I have also seen a large percentage of my former colleagues choose to leave. There was also an overarching fear of retaliation for speaking out. So, I’m glad to see that people are beginning to be transparent about their experiences. A lot of us had a tough time working here
