Pros

- The people you work with on a day-to-day basis on the ground are amazing and have kept Beamery as a nice environment to work in - The benefits are great, unlimited holiday, first Friday of the month off, private healthcare - Hybrid working isn’t micromanaged yet, rumours of a return to office plan - Management are not horrible people, most are just inept

Cons

- The culture has taken a hit since the first round of redundancies and after the most recent layoffs I imagine it will only get worse - Terrible communication from management about anything worth knowing - Far too many talkers and not enough doers at the mid-management level, if you can spin the yarn then you will thrive at Beamery - C-Suite are in over their heads, budgets are out of control, and spending after Series C was mind-boggling (acquisition of Flux, buying their own office space due to founder egos). Nobody knows how they keep losing money, and making layoffs yet the C-Suite are completetly unaffected in their roles, maybe look within. - Obsessed with hiring from logos or McKinsey, at the time of the first layoffs in Jan 2023 a new team was spawned from Board member recommendations that have made no impact - The product is ever-changing with no clear roadmap, they need to stick to one niche and they will thrive

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It’s good to see our benefits package recognized, looking after our employees is important to us. Our people are some of the best of the business and we’re lucky to have them. There’s no escaping the fact that 2023 was a difficult year and we fully understand the impact this has had on the organization. The decisions we made were necessary to put the business on a quicker path to profitability, but of course it wasn’t easy saying goodbye to some extremely valued colleagues. Going into 2024 we believe we’re in a strong position to thrive, with a focused product strategy and brilliant leadership team. We appreciate you sticking with us and everything you’ve brought to Beamery so far. If you’d like to discuss any of the points you raised in more detail then please reach out directly. Abakar Saidov, Co-founder and CEO.
