Pros

Nice office space - multiple company gatherings/celebrations every year (pre-covid)

Cons

Overtime hours 25-50% of the time (unpaid for salaried of course) No sense of career growth or any advised structure for performance - loves saying that you can "create your own career path" constantly No sense of transparent goal setting for the company at large - goals are not measurable, roadmaps are thrown out the window halfway through every year Leaders change their mind on a dime and in turn, micromanage individual projects, instead of setting a vision and empowering employees to get the work done (relates to above) Very performative positivity which creates inauthentic culture. Have been told in meetings to not ask any negative questions, there is no opportunity to discuss things that could be improved

Pros

Workhuman lives it's mission both internally and externally to bring humanity into the workplace. This is what drew me to want to work for the company. A job where you get to sell peer driven recognition to large companies?? Sign me up. I was hired during covid and have not yet met any colleagues in person, yet I received the warmest welcome and onboarding experience. I feel more connected to my fellow co-workers than at any previous company and that is because Workhuman goes out of their way to practice what they preach. There is no shortage of surprises that show up in the mail from our customer experience team for various events and sometimes just for fun (HH's, pizza making, art classes, etc). My sales team is incredible and the managers and VP's are hands on without being "in the way". It's a very strategic, team centric approach. I can honestly say I love my job!

Cons

The benefits are a bit expensive and lacking. I'd like to see a 401K match in the near future and quite honestly was almost a deal breaker. Salary could be more competitive.
