      Product Hunt reviews

      The company is a joke, toxic communications on all levels and zero transparency. - Software Engineer Product Hunt Employee Review

      Pros

      Good benefits, mostly async work

      Cons

      The previous CEO cared nothing about anything except stakeholders, not even the app itself, or users or employees, only how to share good reports with nice numbers. Then the new CEO fired most of the company in 1 day to replace everyone with his buddies. And they did it in a particularly weird way: made a 2-minute call saying "many will be laid off, we'll let you know, bye" and then everyone in the company waited for 3 hours to know whether they were on the list or not. Pretty much like Squid Game, can't think of a more obvious way to say "we don't care about you all".

      Apologies for not seeing/responding to this sooner. We are sorry to hear about your experience as this is not the culture we aim to cultivate here at Product Hunt. A layoff is painful, especially for those affected and unfortunately, you were in that group. As you know, we had a shift in leadership and with that change, we made some tough decisions regarding our team to set Product Hunt up for long term success. We wish you and everyone else affected in the layoff had had the opportunity to see how different things are now, but unfortunately, that wasn’t possible. We know this is a hard transition, and are here to support however we can through this next phase as you find your next role, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.

      Pros

      The benefits are great and you work asynchronously for the most part.

      Cons

      Leadership does a poor job at communicating and things are always changing, which is expected in a start up, but it's all about how you communicate. A lot of passive-aggressiveness across the board. If you don't have a higher position, you're left in the dark and just have to blindly follow orders. There's also just a lot of typical workplace pettiness and gossip. I don't think this is a good place to build your career or a good place to work. Work hours will be extremely long and your life will be consumed by everything Product Hunt. Oh and the interview process is extremely drawn out, which is very much a red flag. Don't waste your time. DEI initiatives are also nonexistent, which is crazy considering that Product Hunt is supposed to be a platform that uplifts all makers.
