Thank you for taking the time to share your opinions and providing feedback. It appears from your comments that you were not aligned with the company direction and that you feel we aren't innovating and driving this company forward. Some examples of this are our recent successes such as the rebranding of the company earlier this year, launching a new and improved site, building a new and improved app for release later this year, and our new CTO (internally promoted) is investing heavily in removing our legacy of tech debt to enable us to be more able and move faster. We have launched 2 brand new products in the past 6 months (tough time to release them admittedly) and we have some exciting new launches planned for later this year or early next year that enable us to engage with our members in ways we never have before. We’ve been busy! The new leadership we brought in at ELT level has enabled a lot of this, as have our VPs and leaders across the company.

Thank you for your positive remarks. As our company continues to evolve, we are appreciative of employee comments that highlight our strengths as well as areas we can improve upon.
The pace and work/ life balance are very manageable and they are still pro remote work which is a huge benefit as a lot of companies push return to office. The benefits and salaries are great compared to the industry standards.
Cons
Lots of turmoil, changeover, layoffs and chaos caused by a recent re-org. ELT does not have vision or innovation outside of “AI” and it’s hard to feel confident about the long term success of the company. Lots of white men who lack creativity.
