      Toxic culture with extreme micromanagement and surveillance

      Sales executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Many of the employees were very nice.

      Cons

      The worst company culture I have ever seen. They micromanage everything including your time on the laptop with a spy software that they tell you is for productivity reasons when it really is to justify the jobs of the "genius" management teams. If you go walk your dog for 15 minutes you get pinged as not being productive. The management is ridiculous and they change on the fly. They preach corporate culture but it feels like the Gestapo is watching you at all times. In sales the bottom line is the bottom line, they are so busy worrying about the wrong metrics that they suffocate you. I was nervous taking a lunch break. It's insane. They want you to be logged in and active on your computer at least 7.5 hours per day which is crazy. In sales you have to make calls, do reports and proposals and sometimes you need to strategize. If you work in an office environment you are getting up to go tp the bathroom, talking to coworkers, maybe going outside for a smoke and I guarantee most people are not on their computer for 7.5 hours a day. I've never seen anything like this before in terms of the "big brother" monitoring. Stay as far away from them as possible if you want a decent quality of life.

      Great remote culture with strong support for growth

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - The people are a delight to work with! - Fully remote-first company with owners and executives who have repeatedly committed to staying fully remote. There are a few regional offices that some execs and nearby employees work out of optionally, but the vast majority of the company works remotely. - The company culture has years of remote-first experience and does a great job keeping teams connected despite the distance. - Management offers a lot of flexibility in work schedules as long as they average around 40 hours a week. - There is a strong focus on helping employees learn and grow, with great support for career development within the company. - The company leans heavily on promoting internally, including into management roles. - Lateral moves are also supported at times, with some employees having started in one department and transitioned into a completely different role. - Unlimited PTO (typically around 3-4 weeks per year in practice). - HR and executives actively listen to and act on employee feedback. - The culture is team-win oriented and supportive, so there is noticeably less internal competition than you might find elsewhere. Pro and con: The company culture centers on continuous improvement, which means employees are generally expected to bring ownership and initiative to their work. If you prefer a more heads-down, clock-in-clock-out style of work, this may not be the right fit.

      Cons

      From my perspective, exec and middle management planning still has room for improvement. Last year, leadership struggled to plan more than a month ahead, with priorities shifting significantly from month to month. This year has shown improvement, with planning horizons extending to a quarter or half year and fewer drastic shifts, though notable shifts still occur at times.

      Flexible hours and great team members

      Software engineer iii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Management allows a lot of flexibility in work hours (provided the work gets done and you average 40 hrs a week) to support work-life balance. - There's a strong focus on helping employees learn and grow. -Unlimited PTO (though suggested to stay around 3-4 weeks per year, and you cannot take more than 2 weeks in a row unless for special circumstances) - HR and the executives listen to and apply employee feedback, at least more than other companies I've worked at. - CEO and execs gave a promise to stay fully remote forever. - Our projects are typically interesting and fun. We're a company that is constantly looking for new ways to innovate technically. - The engineers have some amount of power to help influence what product initiatives we work on. About 15% of the time, product initiatives came from the mind of an engineer. - The engineering teams take pride in their work and their impact on the direction of the company - Our culture is helpful and not competitive - We are a fast-moving team in that we are constantly building new things and are not short on work. But not in the toxic "fast-paced" way where you're encouraged to go into burnout just to achieve your goals. - Our product team works really hard and is great at advocating for the engineers. - My coworkers are wonderful. They're all hard workers you can rely on who are kind, funny, and friendly. They're what really tip the edge for me for rating this company and job at 5 stars.

      Cons

      - Pay may be less than industry average for some, but I feel that's made up for by being fully remote. - Our hours are tracked using ActivTrak. Managers are trained not to micromanage with this. We also are only evaluated on our rolling 4-week weekly average for productive hours, so it's not a per-day hour requirement. There are many older negative reviews due to ActivTrak's initial implementation, and there definitely was some chaos when it was first implemented. It was not implemented in a way that allowed for flexibility of hours, and the communication around it was not great. But, the execs have listened to feedback and changed how we treat the data from it, and I now don't find it to be on the forefront of my mind as much as at the beginning. Plus, communication from the execs has improved immensely after that period of time. However, I'd still list ActivTrak as a con, as I do still spend more energy than I'd like on thinking about the quantity of my focus time vs the quality of my focus time. - Our industry has evolved a lot recently, which did cause a layoff about a year ago. - We have a lot more performance-based terminations than I've experienced at any other company. So it does lead to some general insecurity from the employees that they may be fired at any moment. - There is just a bit too much AI-hype (treating AI as all-powerful and all-knowing). It doesn't personally bother me too much, but I know some people would like to know that about an employer. - There is not much racial or gender diversity in our engineering department, but being in the minority, I do feel it has been completely inclusive. I haven't felt unequal treatment.
