Try to avoid or work short-term - Anonymous employee Ratehub Employee Review

While I want to believe that Ratehub has good intentions, their actions and the way they treated employees was pretty awful. During my time at Ratehub there were about 5-6 people that were fired. Apparently there were a few more before I got hired. The majority of these individuals that were let go were extremely hard workers and tried their very best. However, due to not having a trained HR team, poor definitions of role expectations and poor management/leadership skills from product management, marketing and the CEO these individuals were unfortunately cut loose. A few individuals were fired only having been there for 2-3 months which in my opinion is hardly enough time to let someone prove themselves. Ratehub has adopted the Netflix culture guide without the Netflix pay. They only care about results, which sounds great in theory but not when you are expected to work long hours with low to average paying salaries (50-60k) and a constant fear of getting fired. However, probably the biggest con of Ratehub is the illusion they portray about caring about their employees, making employees believe that their feedback is being heard and the distraction of fun parties and alcohol. Aside from the core group of original Ratehub owners, they do not really listen to what their employees say. The CEO listens to her core team of friends and relies on them immensely for judgement calls of employees. While I understand why this might be necessary, it is not always fair or reasonable. I think working at Ratehub would suit someone who is a new grad. Working at Ratehub is great for meeting amazing people and building up your skill set in the short-term or interim. However, I would not recommend individuals work at Ratehub if they would like to a long-term career in the company or expect to stay there for more than 1-2 years. Ratehub is a company where you get in, get your title and some experience and then get out, fast. Do not expect the company to appreciate your efforts (as effort does not count, only results).
