Flywheel Digital Software Engineer reviews

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. While it’s always difficult to hear such strong criticism, it’s important for us to listen and learn from all feedback, especially from those who have been a part of our journey. We would like to address the key points you’ve raised head-on: Corporate Changes and Their Impact: You mentioned the significant impact of the corporate splits and mergers. Transitions of this nature are inherently challenging, and the unfortunate reality is that sometimes they lead to difficult decisions. We understand the strain this placed on our teams, and we have taken steps to stabilize and support our workforce through these changes. We have restructured our teams to ensure a more balanced distribution of responsibilities and are continually evaluating our staffing needs. Increased Workloads and Role Overlaps: The concern about Devs being required to double their output and PMs taking on QA tasks was taken very seriously. We have since reviewed different initiatives to address these issues, including unifying both the Product and Development teams under a single organization for better alignment and smoother processes; and the use of specific AI tools to enhance our team's capabilities and to ensure that each team member can focus on their core strengths. This modification and restructuring have already led to a more efficient and manageable workload for our teams. Trust and Transparency: The point about low scores in trust and transparency from upper management was critical for us to address. We have implemented a series of measures to improve in this area. This includes regular, transparent updates from upper management, open forums for employees to voice their concerns and ask questions, and a renewed focus on clear and honest communication. These efforts are already yielding positive feedback, and we are committed to maintaining this momentum. We appreciate the contributions you made during your time with Flywheel. Your feedback has been crucial in helping us become a better company, and we are committed to continually improving for the benefit of all our employees.

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback. We’d like to start by saying that we’re glad to hear that you’ve had positive experiences with many of your colleagues. However, we regret that you feel this hasn’t extended to leadership and executive teams. We take your concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address them: The acquisition by Omnicom: we understand that this transition has been difficult for many. The decision was made with the long-term growth and stability of the company in mind. We recognize the disappointment regarding bonuses and equity, and we apologize for the lack of clear communication during this period. We are actively working to improve our HR processes and ensure that issues such as those with medical, 401k, and HSA accounts are resolved promptly. We are committed to making HR more responsive and effective, both within Flywheel and in coordination with Omnicom. The shift to a hybrid work model: We understand this shift has been challenging, especially for those hired as fully remote employees. We are exploring ways to better support all employees through these changes and appreciate your patience as we navigate this new phase. Compensation & evaluations: We understand your frustration regarding the lack of bonus or equity plans, as well as delays in annual reviews and raises. Improving our compensation and evaluation processes is a priority, and we are working to provide more timely and transparent communications. Thank you again for your feedback. While we recognize that some concerns may not be immediately resolved, we are committed to listening and making necessary improvements. As a current employee, we encourage you to use the internal resources we have in place to ensure any new feedback is heard. Team advocates and senior leadership always welcome your input via Slack or feedback surveys. Your input is invaluable as we work to create a better workplace for everyone.
