Pros
Good product that makes a difference in the lives of employees.
Cons
- Read between the lines of other recent “positive” reviews, which speak to managerial over reach, lack of investment in middle management, and micro management. - Take the advice of other earlier reviewers who talk about knowing your work rights, as these will be tested. - Question why this company is throwing up all of these perks, like bring your dog to work day, Friday night drinks, free lunches, and a meditation room, when at the same time representatives are telling anyone who will listen that perks don’t work and are that they are no substitute to evidence based workplace wellbeing initiatives. What does that say about Sonder? - A broken, hustle culture driven by autocratic tech bro cronies. Like many others in the startup “ecosystem”, managers hide behind terms like “high performance culture” to excuse bad behaviour. There is a chronic lack of civility across all levels of this company, which borders on bullying. - Lack of diversity is an absolute joke. - I’ve personally experienced managers mocking mental illness and - as earlier reviewers have pointed out - gossip runs riot here. Really bizarre behaviour and extremely hypocritical. - Too many elitist, but largely ineffectual, middle managers.
