Loom reviews

6 months ago I would not be writing this review but things at loom have gone downhill so fast in such a short amount of time. Echoing what another reviewer said in that the founders have to have their hand in EVERYTHING. It’s so bad that leadership can’t get work done because they’re constantly waiting for approval from the founders. This inevitably trickles down to the rest of the company to the point where we all need approval for a minuscule task…and I’m talking MINUSCULE. Plain and simple, people aren’t trusted to do the job they were hired to do. There’s absolutely zero autonomy because the leadership team has no say in the decision making. Why hire VP’s if you don’t give them the trust and authority to run their teams how they see fit? Ego’s are big, the leadership team routinely talks crap about other members on the leadership team. For a communication product, there’s no communication across the company. People fight over projects, or even worse, work on the same projects without discussing it so double work is being done. They buy gifts for everyone to try to avoid fixing real issues within the company. Ice cream is great n all, but that doesn’t mitigate the fact that Loom has BIG problems and buying gifts will not solve them. They fire people without warning. Long time employees are leaving. The culture is nonexistent. The list goes on.

High growth is a blessing not without challenges. Be prepared to work hard – but there is a high chance it will be the best work of your life.
