Thrive Global reviews

Firstly, I just want to note that I left Thrive of my own accord. This is not a review of a scorned previous employee. It being my decision actually puts me in a very minute subset of previous employees. The majority of others were let go with little or no prior warning - a regular occurrence. For the most part these were talented, hardworking, honest people. People who were passionate about the perceived mission of the company, but perhaps disagreed or raised concerns (in an appropriate manner) with top-down decisions made and were punished for that. It's bad enough that the company operates like this, however, it is so much worse when you take into account that these are all people hired by a company to help improve global employee well-being! The hypocrisy! Add to this that whenever these "changes" happen, they're rarely mentioned formally and instead tend to be discovered over time. Again, none of this brushing under the carpet does much to protect against escalating stress levels. Aside from this, every other day there seems to be an announcement of other changes, be that team switches, team name changes, company name changes, management changes, etc. It is rare that there is any well-considered reasoning for any of these. Even the most calm, healthy individual would grow weary of this. In 18 months at the company I lost count of how many times I sat through a presentation of the next "big bets" the company were taking, only for them to be scrapped soon later in favour of the next whim. Be under no illusion - this company is chasing the money, not the mission it publicly claims.
