Intuit Executives: Too many people from the same background and industry - lack of diversity in experiences, disregard for Headspace company culture, no vision, creating a steep, hierarchical organization. They hold control, but they have proven to not be leaders.
Career Path: There is no path. You work hard and unless you’re a squeaky wheel that has excessively managed up to executives or you threaten to quit with a competing offer, hard work is not rewarded.
Chaos: The constant executive strategy pivots, reorgs, attrition, secrecy and lack of communication have left teams exhausted and unfulfilled.
Prioritization: Short term wins are constantly prioritized at the expense of long term strategy
If you’re considering joining Headspace and looking for more than opinions, here are some stats/facts.
- The VPs of Product, Marketing, Design, Technology, People, and B2B have all quit or been fired in the last year.
- Glint: Lowest rated areas of the company, Decision Making, Communication, and Performance Evaluation.
- Employees can only work remotely from Georgia, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, California, Washington, Maryland, and New York. BUT if you are an executive you may get special treatment (Illinois or international move to London).
- Ask to hear more about the survey on employee burnout.
