Pros
-Really wonderful colleagues. -I learned quite a lot from those around me. There were a lot of bright, driven, and thoughtful people at Alyce. -Feedback culture was very transparent and candid, which I like.
Cons
Culture took a huge hit with Covid. There was no People Ops team to keep any sort of alignment across the org, despite pleas of many many people for many many months to have a **TRUE** HR/People ops professional. How can this be an organization that touts "personal experience" when they can't even provide that to their own employees. Please stop letting egos get in the way, and do what is best for the employees. Much of leadership has never scaled a tech company before. Decisions are often made based on seniority, rather than what actually makes sense. Watching them make a big show about DE&I this summer, only to blatantly mistreat the few people of color in the organization is shameful. During the beginning of Covid, we experienced layoffs, and those that were left were asked to take a paycut, while bearing an increased workload, due to the business doing really well in spite of the pandemic. If you were struggling in any way, there was no support -- only passive aggressive threats to your job. The product itself is smoke and mirrors. It's very clunky, non intuitive, or user friendly. The idea behind it is very admirable, but the execution needs work. They claim to be an AI software, but they really just outsource the "AI" work to cheap labor in the Philippines.
