Pros

Some of the greatest people I’ve worked with in my career.

Cons

Misalignment, lack of strategy or competitor insight, short sighted execution. Ie. Hired about 30 sales people. Layed off 90% less than a year later.

Pros

In the middle of a global pandemic, the way companies treat their people will shine light on their true colors and that of its leaders. Waggl navigated through Covid-19 with both agility and empathy. Many of the challenges we faced were unprecedented, and leadership didn't always have all the answers. But through change and hardship, Waggl always returned to: 1) its mission -- helping companies everywhere channel the voices of their people to drive positive change, work that was particularly impactful during a global crisis, and 2) its people -- taking great care to allow for the flexibility and empathy needed to support those of us who were parents, caretakers, or just having a hard time in this new reality. Feeling both fulfilled and supported in this work helped us navigate what could have been a very difficult time.

Cons

No business is having an easy time right now and Waggl is no exception. This year is surfacing tough challenges to navigate, not only with the pandemic but probably even more significantly the issues of racial inequity and injustice. I'd like to see Waggl not only recognize but prioritize its own DEI work, starting with its internal initiatives. There is so much opportunity for Waggl to emerge as getting this right but it will take constant, consistent humility, time, and energy by leadership to move the org in the right direction.

Pros

The team - each and every person who works at Waggl brings their own unique brand of awesomeness to work with them each and every day. Everyone here is an 11! The culture - is inclusive, supportive, trusting, and inspired - we are truly creating something game-changing together and it's our collective energy that makes it all work. At the same time, having a healthy work / life balance is part of the culture, not just a statement but a value that is lived by all. The product - is changing the way companies engage with their employees on the most important issues facing organizations today. Transparency, agility, and actionable insights enable companies to align around their common goals and how they will achieve them as a collective team all rowing in the same direction. Our customers - are progressive leaders who recognize the need to create a healthy culture that thrives on feedback and continuous improvement and are driving important change in their organizations. They inspire us with their dedication to their people and innovative uses of our product. The location - We work in one of the most beautiful parts of the Bay Area - sunny Sausalito. For me, the opportunity to be doing work with such a profound purpose alongside the most talented, humble, and driven team members and customers is an all time career highlight.

Cons

With fast growth comes times where you have to dig deep to keep up with the pace. Unlike other fast paced organizations I've worked with, this team is truly committed to supporting and resourcing teams to enable the ability to scale in a healthy way.
