Pros

Company didn't force anyone to come back to the office after covid. All positions are being posted as remote now.

Cons

There has been huge mass of people leaving in the last few months and some not being replaced and clients are feeling the downstream impact. ELT isn't aware of what is happening within the company. CEO wants us to "move faster" but we can't keep up with the work that we have today. PTO policy is garbage and company claims it's above industry standard, even though most software companies give out unlimited PTO. Company claims that because of their work/lift balance, they don't need to increase PTO. It's hard to have work/life balance when you're working all the time. Modern Hire used to be Montage and Shaker - and it's clear that ELT only cares about the Shaker product, even though a large part of revenue comes from the Montage product. Lastly, there has been so many cases come up where the perception is that the company isn't a great place for women to work. This probably stems from an incident in 2020 where someone in ELT was chosen over the word of a woman. This caused the CEO to leave and many people followed suit.

Modern Hire Response

We’re so excited about the new employees who have joined us lately to help our current employees in our work to transform hiring experiences and business performance. Our expertise in both interview technology and assessment science differentiates us from our competitors. I appreciate your feedback on the PTO policy. Based on feedback from our people and market analysis, we recently implemented a new "Unlimited PTO" policy in the U.S. and we encourage people to take the time they need to focus on what’s important in their life. I’ve only been a part of Modern Hire for a little over a year; during my time here, I’ve seen the company do a lot to support our people and I’m loving the collaborative and inclusive culture. Thank you for your feedback. I’m disappointed to hear you aren't enjoying your experience right now. I’d welcome the chance to have a conversation with you to discuss your ideas. -Sibyl

The people I worked with initially were amazing.

Leadership pivoted often which made targets unclear and difficult to hit.
