Workhuman reviews

Pretty much the entire marketing department is a mess, wouldn't recommend it. 3 heads of marketing in the last 3 years, unqualified management, mass exodus every spring after the annual conference. The reviews mentioning unqualified management especially at the dir level is very true, but it is a generalization. HR team sweeping things under the rug, also true. Not sure that the cons here are any worse than at other organizations, but they are all due to growing pains. The quality of hire 7 years ago was way below where the company looks for talent today, and being slow to fire hasn't helped sales, marketing or any other department. When I first started, we did have a Workhuman culture. we would get beer and snacks to celebrate a company win, and all enjoy them together at 3pm on a thursday, for example. Now, its seems like its all for instagram. The company appears to spend so much money and resources on celebrating Oreo day, bring my kid to work day, arbor day,.... if there's a day, we funnel money into it and make sure its captured on our instagram page. But then you have managers that aren't trained and talent that isn't performing? It seems backwards and superficial, and a ploy to look very cool and attract talent. Overall, i would recommend working here except in the marketing department.

This is a toxic place. There are a group of people in leadership who insist on making this little software company a place full of drama and politics and backbiting. This group has been consistently promoted. The CEO has admitted to setting goals that he knows are not stretch goals, but completely impossible to reach, because he thinks people will not work as hard if they don't have impossible targets. As a result, someone is always being berated for failing against goals that are completely absurd. It is well known that bringing up new ideas or suggesting that anyone in leadership might want to look at something in a different way is a recipe to be completely ostracized, if not ousted. The worst thing about the company is all the "make work more human" stuff they spout, because it is a marketing ploy. This is not a place where people are treated with respect and given paths to grow.
