Pros

Great experience, so happy to be here; learning from such smart people not only my team but also from people from other teams. What we did in such a short time on Diversity and Inclusion and how we jumped on it and start conversations. Our CEO made this number 1 priority which is absolutely amazing. Trying to understand who we are as a company is very positive and impressive. Where did we get to in such a short period of time… Working here all around is in another reality – absolutely beneficial in every single way to ones' well being, career pathing and aspirations, income needs, productivity needs, and more. Great place to develop your career. Lots of diverse and interesting things to work on and get involved in. Culture, care for team, autonomy, flexibility and a great leadership team (always available). CEO has open door initiatives for all of us anytime; I feel I can go and speak with him, his initiatives to connect with employees are amazing, cooking classes, being available. We got so much better in terms of planning and communicating last year - kudos to leadership and CEO's transparency.

Cons

Remote work is a blessing and a curse. Miss the office!

Pros

Good Pay Decent benefits (used to be a lot better)

Cons

- Senior Leadership team has no idea what they are doing and make bad decision after bad decision. -No adherence to process, no standards and no accountability! - The company culture has completely tanked over the last 2 years, TextNow used to be a great place to work.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear pay and benefits meet your expectations, as we’re always working to ensure our total rewards remains strong. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience at TextNow hasn’t matched your expectations. Especially if you’ve seen a shift in the culture you once valued. As you know, culture is something we take very seriously, with our Values Bootcamps, culture interviews and more. We know it requires ongoing attention, reflection, and effort from everyone, especially our leadership team. While we recognize that not every decision will land perfectly, we are committed to learning from both our wins and our missteps. We value open and honest feedback and are constantly working to improve processes, clarify standards, and build stronger accountability across the organization. We will continue evolving to create a place where people can do the best work of their careers.
