Listen, it’s not the worst place I’ve worked, but it definitely was way better when I started several years prior. And recent times led to me feeling so burnt out that I felt the need to leave to get my mental health back on track. This job also made me never want to work at a 9-5 ever again, so take with that what you will. Getting a promotion or a raise is nearly impossible, unless you’re one of the favorites of upper management. They want to hire as few people as possible even when understaffed, so even if you do get that promotion, you’re going to be miserable. Company logistics are a mess, and they have leaders in positions that they very much should not be leading as they have no concept of what these teams do or background in the department. There are also upper management folks who make it their mission to be intimidating and difficult to work with — why? To me that seems like a poor way to run a company. Additionally, there is no pay transparency so you could be making far less than someone in the same role, and it’s discouraged to discuss wages (wonder why). At the end of the day, I want to see Lemonade succeed. I believe in the product and the mission, but I do think it got lost along the way. If it is possible to get the company back on track with happy employees, happy customers, and a solid product, I would jump for joy. But I’ll need to see it to believe it…
