Pros

Great people, great product, great environment. I can't say this enough. Everyone I work with is smart, interesting, fun, and motivated. We all rally around goals, and we all like to help each other out. I work with a great team, and everyone from every team is just as great. It's been many years, and I still look forward to my emails when switching on my laptop first thing each morning. I look forward to company meetings where I can see other faces, and I miss having an office community.

Cons

Covid, growing pains, a gamble that didn't pan out too well. Roadmunk grew from a small company to a medium sized one incredibly quickly, and ran into some struggles as many people felt that company values no longer reflected our practice. Covid was pretty painful and a lot of people were laid off as a result. The company had to change the way it operated and different roles were required as a result. There was a gamble on a big feature that didn't pay off in the end. In a way, it actually served as a bit of a rallying call to everyone else reminding the team to prioritise properly in future.

Pros

Great coworkers Cool new office(s) Snacks Flexible WFH (pre-covid) Interesting challenges Conceptually cool products

Cons

Roadmunk has had a disastrous 2020, they are rapidly losing market and mindshare. The environment created by upper management is pure toxicity. Despite being a company of only about 100 (peak) there have been around 60 layoffs/resignations since spring 2020. To say that Roadmunk has not made a correct tactical or strategic decision in the last 12 months would be an understatement. They have burned the first mover's advantage they enjoyed for the first few years of their existence and are now left with a core product that is rotten to the core, has bugs and performance issues, and now is less featureful and more expensive than the competition. The company seems to think that mass lay-offs is a reasonable way to run a company, then scapegoating those that left for the underlying issues the company has. Protip : if you keep having to layoff people in mass, it's the way the company is run that's the problem, not the people who were fired/resigned. The company is currently burning cash like crazy. At this point they're either getting bought for pennies or closing shop in the not too distant future. Maybe the 20 odd people they laid off recently will help that burn. This time last year I would have given 4 or 5 stars, which is the only reason this isn't a 1 star review. The current state of Roadmunk is like watching the terrible last season of an otherwise great tv show.

Pros

Some great colleagues, okay benefits, and snacks in the office.

Cons

Seems like a lot reviews are being flagged and taken down...so I'll try again: Many employees were abruptly let go under the guise of “poor performance” with no warning. Often, those who are exited are made to be scapegoats for the organization's deep data problems and poor product decisions. There is extremely high turnover and for the most part, those who have been let go have gotten better positions at more reputable companies. The problems in the company begin with leadership. Competent people are kept out of senior positions to protect a very close knit circle who would not be qualified for similar roles in other companies. There is also a level of favoritism that I have not seen anywhere else. Everyone is hired from the same companies. To move up in Roadmunk you have to be friends with or have at one point worked with management at a previous company. On the product side, Roadmunk is simply broken. The app is deeply flawed and instead of working to fix the core offering, resources were diverted to a new product for almost a year. It’s not surprising that this new product has poor adoption and competitors have outpaced Roadmunk.
