Toxic Environment

Pros

remote working; coworkers are smart, hardworking. the company culture was good when I just joined.

Cons

toxic management: 1) example one: C level people often shout out to employees who worked overtime/during weekend to fix an emergency bug or meet a tight deadline 2) example two: one team lead emailed the whole team, and even unrelated teams saying that he had to let someone go because he couldn't met the performance expectations. it is very disrespectful. I feel really bad for the coworker they let go. poor onboarding guidance for new people: they expect you to figure out everything yourself. you need to be really good and comfortable asking a lot of questions. salary is very low compared with other tech companies.

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate you sharing that you got to work with smart, hard working people at Jerry. I'm sure you were one of them with your long tenure at Jerry! I'd like to address a few of the areas of feedback: -You are right that we do often shoutout employees who go above and beyond to make sure our customer experience and operations are smooth when there are glitches that require after hours work. We are very appreciative of those kinds of efforts. -We're looking into the email you mentioned as that does not sound like details we'd typically share. We'll immediately take action to better train team leads on this topic if this information was delivered as stated. Thanks for calling it out. -Our onboarding has improved 10x since you joined but, you are right, for our early employees like you, there was much to be desired. -We DO want people to ask lots of questions. Question everything! There are usually better ways to do things and we don't get there without questioning current practices. -We annually benchmark our salaries and are confident we provide competitive base salaries.

Pros

Work in a fast paced environment if you’re looking for that

Cons

They’re going to expect you to work long hours constantly and expect to have to work a full day on New Year’s Eve if it falls on a weekday. If you can’t keep up with their increasing expectations of you or if a hiccup happens in the economy be prepared to lose your job.

Thank you for your feedback. We hire very talented people and do have high expectations for their performance. That environment is not for everyone. We appreciate the feedback on offering NYE as a paid holiday. We do have a generous PTO package that can be used for vacation days as well as 9 paid holidays for Ontario-based employees but are always looking at new ways to enhance our benefits. Just this month, we began giving birthdays as a paid vacation day as well.

Perils of startup work

Pros

Great colleagues who did their best to support one another in good times and bad.

Cons

Lack of stability with high turnover and poor, ever-changing guidance from management with no clear editorial strategy. Content-farm approach to work that felt soulless and pointless.
