Bonusly Response
6yThis review is full of false information, and could not have been posted by one of our employees, current or former. As the CEO, I take this very seriously and am working with Glassdoor to investigate this post.
"I was forced to write reviews" - this has never happened. I have never asked employees to write glassdoor reviews, let alone forced them to do anything. Furthermore, if you were forced to write a positive review, why did you not log back in and edit that review to say all this, instead of writing a new one?
"all the employees I was working with were actively looking for work elsewhere" - this can't be true, because our unwanted attrition rate for the last two years was 0%.
"The CEO is a narcissist and creates a toxic work environment" - Our quarterly employee engagement scores range from 4.6 to 4.9 (out of 5) across 7 questions. It seems unlikely that this would happen if I was creating a toxic work environment.
"The legacy code needs to be completely replaced and is a massive security vulnerability" Also false. Our codebase is very up-to-date and we dedicate one or more development threads at all times to address tech debt. We undergo an independent security audit annually that consists of both black-box and white-box testing. We are PrivacyShield certified. We are currently undergoing a SOC2 assessment and anticipate full certification by Q1 2020.
"As for transparency management only share what reinforces their preaching" Not true. We share all company KPIs, in real time, with all employees. Those KPIs don't always have good news. For example, I recently shared our company demographic data with the organization, and acknowledged that we have real deficiencies in diversity in certain areas. I invite critical feedback and thank employees whenever they deliver it, because it helps me better serve them.
It saddens me that someone who never even worked at Bonusly felt the need to post all this false information about us.
