Hiring Process Doesn't Match Company Values - Applicant Gapingvoid Employee Review

It does not take long to make an impact here. I've been with Gapingvoid a few years, and am amazed at how much Jason, Erica, and Laura have upleveled and grown the company in that time. I have grown as a creative. Gapingvoid is an environment that challenges you to experiment, continuously improve, and where someone with anxiety like me can flourish. It is rewarding to work at a different kind of consulting company, one that listens to and amplifies the voices of the people working at the ground level of organizations, and gives them a role in building their culture. The consultants at Gapingvoid truly care, and their work running facilitations and gathering people's stories shapes all of the creative work. Consultants do an incredible job of taking people who may be jaded and cynical from experiences with previous consultants, and through a process that is unique to each client, to people who are excited about building their culture. Laura and Phoebe have built a small yet mighty creative team who truly care, and I am grateful to work with every day. I feel valued and like my voice matters. Everyone is always willing to help and share knowledge. Being a remote team, has allowed Gapingvoid to find amazing people from all over the country (and avoid dealing with Miami traffic every day). While we are remote, we are given a lot of trust and autonomy. Our internal meetings are a chance to learn from each other and explore our curiosities.

Client work always comes first, which can mean less time for internal projects Sometimes things can get stressful, but Laura and Phoebe work hard to manage the creative team's workload so that it doesn't happen often.

The work of Culture Design® is meaningful and challenging. It requires intellectual curiosity, resilience, and a genuine interest in helping organizations improve how they lead and collaborate. Our firm attracts smart, thoughtful people who care deeply about the work and its impact on clients. Over the years, I’ve seen many people grow significantly here by taking ownership of their work and leaning into the challenge. For people who enjoy solving complex problems and working closely with clients, there are real opportunities to learn and grow professionally. The company is also generous with holiday time and offers significant flexibility in how we work, including the ability to work remotely. People who do well here tend to enjoy meaningful work and a fast-paced environment. It’s also simply a really cool place to work, and everyone is genuinely kind and supportive. I am grateful to be part of the journey.

The work we do is demanding, and the expectations are high. It requires adaptability, initiative, and comfort with ambiguity, which means it may not be the right fit for everyone. Because we work remotely, communication and relationship-building require intentional effort both internally and with clients. Not everyone enjoys or thrives in this kind of environment, and I acknowledge that it isn’t suited to everyone.
