Wonder where all the women went

Pros

At first, the company is full of energy and passionate people. You are surrounded by really supportive and friendly faces. The vacation policy is good and the community efforts are amazing.

Cons

If you aren’t a man, or act like a guy, this company will immediately label you as “lazy, complacent, and unmotivated”. I saw so many hardworking people leave Sana because they internalized this mentality and felt worthless. Don’t believe me? Ask the 6 ladies who left sana in a 6 month period. Don’t worry, Sana backfilled the positions with “motivated” men. So be careful if you don’t fit this definition. Lastly, so many women were harassed by this one person at Sana and nobody did anything. Even saw an entire team witness the harassment in a company meet up and nothing was done. Girls would avoid going on company trips because of this person. Again, nothing was done. Wonder why all the women left.

Pros

Several pros worth highlighting: - Decent to good work-life balance - Has built a decent culture that is hard to match; they send you a welcome gift along with other small gestures that makes one smile - Employer value proposition used to be employees first and a fun place to work, but that's changing fast with a new CEO, strategy, etc.

Cons

So many to list and some are relevant now while others were in the past: - Very bias firm and pretends it isn't. If you are in good eyes of a leader, you will become a Manager out of college or soon after. It doesn't matter if you are qualified and/or if you have proven any results. - Management often wants and prefers "yes men" to execute and not question anything. - Management is full of egos. Firm went to "regionalization" and created three regions to spilt the power; Americas, EMEA/APAC, and Enterprise (wth, right?). - New CEO was recently hired and he removed regionalization pretty fast. New CEO is smart but a bit clueless when it comes to empathy, building a culture, and maintaining core values; employees are openly complaining that it's not the same firm and many are leaving. Old value proposition was employees first and new value proposition appears to be cut costs and nothing else matters. Employees in Sri Lanka were laid off with development teams being shut down: Sana is afraid of the public finding out to get backlash. - Women in EMEA/APAC region are sexually harrased and face daily microagressions. Do you know the firm did? They ignored the issues and started a Elevate Her campaign on LinkedIn lol - They don't pay well and some leaders openly say "you don't work here to get the best salary." If you want a raise, get an outside offer and get that matched. If not, get ready for 0-2% annual raises. - Management does not understand customer centricity and thinks short-term only. One example: Sana charges upfront for Sana Insights and you don't get this service until the webstore goes live (6-12 months depending on ERP). Internally, they say let's proceed until the client complains...

Very Bias Firm

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Some small nice perks are available like free coffee and lunches but this is only in the office and nothing for remote employees. Work schedule is not bad but does get chaotic at times; management listens and shows care but no real tangible long-term action is taken. The product is strong and getting better.

Cons

The firm claims to have a great culture but is very bias. There is a constant push and highlighting of commerical roles, while delivery is neglected and put on backburner. Upper management is all white males and this is normal and okay in the CEO's mind. There are many young and unqualified individuals in leadership roles and preference is given to Dutch employees over all regions for these roles. Upper mobility is limited as a result and this firm is okay for individual contributors or someone looking to spend 1-3 years as a stepping stone.
