Pros

They evangelize and advocate for remote and flexible work, which is awesome. The service is great for job-seekers.

Cons

Leadership is a joke. The higher-ups all talk a big game about flexibility but then don't grant the same consideration to their "underlings". Junior employees are micro-managed on a variety of levels and just generally treated like inferior team members. The goal of the CEO is pretty much to get on TV. Period.

While I'm disappointed to hear that you were so unhappy during your time with our company, I do appreciate the feedback that you provided. I would love the opportunity to talk with you directly to get a better understanding of your experiences, particularly around not being granted flexibility and being treated poorly. While there are some roles that have different levels of flexibility available due to the specifics of the work, every employee works from home (typically considered the brass ring of work flexibility) and a very generous paid time off policy. If there were levels of flexibility that should have been a part of your employment that was withheld, I would definitely want to know about that. We work hard to create a culture of proactive and open communication here and I wish I had known that someone was feeling like they were being treated like they were inferior. While it's too late to fix your experience, if you'll reach out with details, we'd like the opportunity to learn and do better. I'm not sure how to respond to the comment about the goal of the CEO being to get on TV other than to respectfully disagree. It's actually something she's pretty uncomfortable with but does when needed to help the company. It's an important part of her job. I sincerely hope that you've found something that is a better fit and that makes you happy. I'm sure you know how to contact me if you'd like to provide more details on any of your experiences.
