- 60% of the company was laid off a week ago. All of the manager level employees are still there so now it is a company of managers with no workers.
- The product team was junior and lots of development dollars were lost because of it. Junior meaning not one member of the product team had product experience prior to working at ShipHawk.
- No culture. There were times where it felt like a culture was developing, but it was always short lived because of the constant turnover, in all departments. Culture is a vague term so I'm defining it as employees being friends with each other, hanging out outside of work, or simply going to lunch together.
- Interview process was not structured and interviewers were rude
Other things to note:
- Seeing as how the whole company just got laid off, I would wait a few months before applying here. Might not be a company for much longer.
- Sales seemed to be extremely difficult. If you've got a kid, mortgage, or any other kind of major financial commitment I would steer clear. We had a few very experienced sales people that ended up quitting because sales were too difficult.
- I would beware of the five star reviews after October 6, 2016 that say great things about leadership and that turnover is a little high but normal. They are probably written by members of the leadership team still working there as an attempt to cauterize the wound they created from the layoffs.
