roboboogie Reviews

We appreciate the feedback and perspective you've raised in this review. Happy to hear you shared our passion and we have your endorsement as a fun place to work and start your career. We are sorry this positive feedback is in such stark contrast with the additional perspective you provided in this review. Looking at all of those growth areas closely and critically, we feel it is important to address points you've made to provide the reader some perspective on our organization. We also would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss any of these items in more details with you as you see fit. Feedback channels: We have a number of established feedback channels/mechanisms in place to provide a safe and confidential line of communication for concerns and issues. These include frequent one-on-one meetings, Roboboogie’s staffed HR resource, full access to a 3rd party HR consultant, an anonymous feedback portal, peer and annual reviews, and exit interviews. We take any and all feedback into these channels seriously and address them objectively, and professionally in a timely manner. Flexible Work Schedule: We have a flexible hybrid work schedule in place, which allows employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This includes options for remote work, flexible hours, and support for personal and family commitments. PTO Coverage: While we acknowledge that covering for colleagues on PTO can be challenging, we strive to have a well-structured plan for coverage in place to minimize disruptions. "Family" Rhetoric: We are a small (<25 employee) company that fosters a close collaborative work culture. We are committed to ensuring it does not translate into undue work pressure, and we encourage open communication to address concerns around work-life imbalance. Founder Involvement: Founder involvement can sometimes lead to project revisions, but we aim to ensure that it enhances the quality of our work. We are actively working on improving timing, communication and context sharing in these situations. Pay and DE&I: We are committed to fair compensation and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. We are continuously monitoring and adjusting compensation packages and DE&I initiatives to create a more inclusive work environment. Client Relationships: Our clients come from diverse backgrounds, and some may have pre-existing relationships with our Founder. We maintain professionalism and integrity in any of our client relationships to ensure they align with our values and standards. While not common, there are times that we do work in fair trade exchange or equity based work. Performance Feedback: We strive to provide constructive feedback and performance evaluations to help employees improve. Public shaming is not our approach, or tolerated to any extent. We work hard to uphold and enforce our Respect tenant. Leadership: We are proud of our leadership team. Open, unsolicited feedback we hear in weekly Friday Kudos call-outs is in stark contrast to the claim here of broad leadership incompetence. A/B Test Services: We are actually seeing an increased demand for A/B testing and data-driven services. These are a focal point for our organization as a small Digital Optimization Consultancy.

We appreciate the kind words about us being the most caring people you ever worked with. Couldn't help but notice that comment is stark contrast with the rest of your feedback. We'd love to connect and chat more to better understand your position and perspective. Mainly because we do not feel your claims align with the overall culture and practices of our organization, and could benefit from some additional context. Long Hours: Our company values a reasonable work-life balance and strives to maintain it as a standard practice. While occasional additional effort may be required for specific projects, this is not indicative of our standard working hours. Additionally, we have Flex Time policies in place to give time back to folks when things slow down. Client Priority: We are committed to balancing client needs and employee well-being. Our approach is to ensure that the two are harmoniously aligned, and any instances to the contrary are exceptions, not the rule. Leadership Experience and Decision-Making: Our leadership team comprises experienced professionals who make well-informed decisions. We actively seek input from our team members, and leadership decisions are typically made collaboratively with various stakeholders. Pay and Negotiations: We have structured compensation practices and are open to fair negotiations. We aim to ensure that our employees are compensated fairly for their contributions. Company Culture: Our commitment to a positive company culture is genuine, and the fun activities we organize are intended to enhance the work environment, not detract from it. We prioritize employee well-being and aim to minimize stress. At times certain roles do need to provide client services during these activities, but we try to minimize the impact so they can still participate. Time Off Policy: Our time off policy is designed to accommodate the needs of our employees while ensuring operational efficiency. We are open to feedback and strive to make improvements that cater to our workforce's evolving needs. We believe our paid vacation schedule and PTO scales are competitive with other companies our size. We remain dedicated to our commitment to creating a supportive, fair, and growth-oriented work environment. Thank you for your feedback, and we will continue to work towards these goals.
