I learned after a few months that a lot of people were unhappy here. Didn't feel that in the interview or see that in the recruiting video (was also told that a lot of that was staged). There are a lot of issues brewing internally which I guess is to be expected when you have so many employees, but I guess it just really surprised me considering how well everything went in the beginning. With a lot of people looking to leave because of the culture and work environment, I think my time here is done as well.

-They say they value work/life balance but only reward the people that are working 60+ hours a week. -Very cliquey. There is a clear preference for the employees living in New York (even in a remote world). -No merit cycle process or compensation philosophy. It’s not uncommon for (deserving) employees to go years without a raise. -There’s been some questionable decisions made by HR, including sweeping some inappropriate manager/employee relationships under the rug and instructing concerned employees not to speak of the inappropriate incidents. -The review that mentions someone being let go while on maternity leave? That’s true. They also laid off 50+ and not long after, announced a large round of funding. This left a lot of current and former employees feeling uncomfortable and misled. -Lack of transparency around roadmap and why certain decisions were being made. -Poor planning/goal setting which led to goals consistently being missed. -Zero regulation around political or hard hitting social issues — if you don’t agree with the company’s stance, there was no room or space to voice that and have healthy conflict discussions. -Despite training, there is not buy-in from leadership (especially in sales) around Diversity & Inclusion.
