Harper Wilde Reviews

Unfortunately, the leadership team has made a series of the most baffling and disheartening decisions in the last year alone that makes it clear the company is doing poorly and their priorities have shifted from the people (the customers and the employees) to scrambling to pinch whatever pennies they can. They have no sense of who they are as a brand and internally there is no consensus. They have unceremoniously fired multiple folks who had been contributing to the company since its inception and as a result many talented employees have quit. The worst part — and the pitfall of every startup — is the cloying language they use to make you feel like you're a part of a family when in reality, you're a disposable cog in a machine. All the cutesy empowered feminist rhetoric in the world can't save you from that. I'd be surprised if they're still around 6 months from now. It's a shame because the product is amazing and the vision was one worth fighting for.

The founders have done a lot of shady firings and layoffs, plus they closed their office, making it clear the company isn't doing well all the while pretending everything is totally okay. They don't address any of the obvious changes, take any employee feedback seriously, or do anything but ignore how low morale is getting. I felt like the "this is fine" meme every day.
