Pros

- good pay - decent benefits - you will meet some cool people

Cons

My advice is still stay away if you can. If you are unemployed and need something, then take the paycheck. But this is not a place to advance your career. The work you will do will be mindless and basic. They oversell what they do and how they do it (i will give them this: they have a great marketing team). If you decide to give this place a chance, you will find out soon enough. The leadership team is highly dishonest and resorts to chicanery quite a bit. They laid off people claiming they were negatively impacted by covid (their product doesn't solve a meaningful issue for most users, that's the real issue). But they have been hiring as many people as they laid off and still going. So, obviously covid didn't affect their ability to pay salaries. They just didn't care for some people and decided not to spend anytime on coaching and/or performance training. On top of that, they are outsourcing some work to an agency, but they are been coy about it, keeping most of their engineers in the dark. Most people don't know or if they know, leadership is under-representing what work they are doing. In conclusion: they have no integrity and the work will bore you. If you have another offer, take that one. If not, take it but keep looking.

We know perception shapes reality, so thank you for sharing and allowing us to clarify your perspective. I will first respond to your opinion that we lack integrity and don’t care. I was lucky enough to join Sensibill as VP of People 3.5 months ago, and I can assure you that we actually stand behind the integrity we commit to. My peers and leaders within the Senior Leadership Team really have shown me that we put people first. 2020 has proven to be a tough year and we had to make some very tough decisions; however, that does not mean business stops. Yes, we are hiring for new roles, promoting from within, and recognizing superior contributors, but that does not mean the decisions made when the pandemic hit were anything other than thought out and data-driven. We have put some great tools in place over the last few months so we can create channels for consistent feedback, alignment and transparency. This would have helped us clarify your impression and thoughts when you felt as you did. We wish you well and my sincerest apologies for anything other than an exceptional employee experience. Sincerely, Jennifer

Pros

- Lots of autonomy to do your work (expected to do it well) - Challenging work, get to wear many hats and develop your skills professionally. - Very supportive and collaborative working environment from the top down. In addition to your surrounding peers, you can walk into c-level employees' office or desk to get opinions, direction, or just bounce ideas off. - Great work-life balance: never feel uncomfortable or uneasy if I need to work from home, leave the office early for an appointment or attend a personal matter. - Something fun always happening in the office week-to-week. It's easy to see that the people responsible for the environment and office culture want to make this a place employees want to be in and it's working. Always see people staying later to just hang out with one another in the office.

Cons

- You need to be proactive in pushing your professional career further and broach the subject yourself. Always received well with a productive conversation following. - Technical resource availability: Competing priorities can sometimes push your project or deal to the side until resources are made available or a higher priority item is done. Can get frustrating when your hands are tied and you can't execute on your work.

Actually, I agree with both of these ‘cons’. The first is a conscious trade-off that we’ve made. We want to support our team in their professional development, but we do believe that this needs to be employee-led and they should suggest the path that is right for them. We’re always there to coach and guide, but if we were to outline a strict career path, then we wouldn’t see team members who’ve been able to shift from product development to client services, or from design to project management, or from data research to client support. The second is in-part because, as a start-up, we don’t have the capacity and resources we would want to have to do all of the things we have identified on our roadmap. So there will always be some desire to move more quickly than we would like. But there is also an aspect to this where we are not balancing our competing priorities as effectively as we could, resulting in too much context-switching from our engineering team. This has been identified as an area that we are currently working on to improve and I am hopeful that we will see a faster path forward in the near future.

A lot of wasted potential, so far...

Pros

- Very good compensation and benefits. - Beautiful office. - Great co-workers who are very smart.

Cons

- The culture is becoming very toxic. - Management does not take ownership for failures - It is very common for people to get the "bait and switch", where they interview for one role and are given another. - Work/Life balance is not respected. - No career roadmap

I'm sorry to hear your experience was a "bait and switch". To the best of our knowledge, this has not happened. We implement 3 surveys and a performance review within the first 3 months, where we directly ask new employees if the role is shaping up to be as communicated and as they expected. If these fall short anywhere, we address it. All managers have regular one-on-one meetings with their direct reports to discuss development aspirations and any obstacles or roadblocks the employee is facing. I encourage you to seek out the Director of Talent & Culture to discuss this as this goes against our values, in particular integrity. This may even be a great opportunity for you to have a broader discussion about your career development and roadmap. Hope to hear from you.
