Paperless Post reviews

Lack of accountability. When things would break, or dev would ship code that wasn't 100% up to snuff, it would directly affect PP's revenue and there were no repercussions for the dev team. Because of the size of the company, getting to know individuals outside of your team can be difficult. Integrating yourself can be challenging at first. May 2017 was a difficult month because PP restructured their business model to eliminate one of their products (PAPER products). This left 22 individuals without a job suddenly, and many teams had shifted responsibilities. I feel like this decision was a direct reflection of the management teams inefficiencies. Being in the position to restructure a profitable business model felt like the wrong move. It seriously cut morale, and hurt the company more than did good.

-Not all full-timers are eligible for the same benefits packages, FT Hourly employees do not receive PTO or holiday pay -The leadership team can be deceitful, as was shown in May when almost 20% of the workforce was laid off only a few weeks after a townhall meeting called "growing 5 times our size" -The company has tried to spin the unexpected layoffs as a necessary evil directly related to the sunset of its paper product, but nobody on the paper team was let go. -Lots of great talent has left in the last 6 months because of an unclear trajectory, the demolition of years-long projects, and a lack of understanding on what employee engagement truly means (hint, it's not just happy hours) -There's pretty much no room for growth, and if you dare to dream bigger than the role you were hired into, you'll be classified as unfocused, difficult, not a team player, and lots of other jargon that will be used to manipulate you into being quiet. -Leadership is out of touch with the company's consumer base - features are created and changed based on the customer the company wishes it had (young 20/30-somethings) and not the customer it has (the parents of those 20/30-somethings) -Hourly pay rates are pretty dismal, and barely livable, especially considering a lack of paid vacation or holidays, and no room for overtime, it's like being trapped in a job you can't afford to keep and you can't afford to leave either
