What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are very open to ideas from everyone in the company, and they are very supportive
Review from Engineering Dept
They provide clear guidance and council to set the company on a positive path.
Review from Engineering Dept
Most of them are very involved at the company. They are in the office often & participate in company events.
Review from Engineering Dept
They have created an environment where I can be authentic
Review from Engineering Dept
I appreciate that the leadership that I have interacted with directly has been very supportive of me being trans. When I was considering coming out their direct support was the deciding factor in asking my team to call me by different pronouns
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Set a clear vision for the company growth
Review from Engineering Dept
Be emphatic to the people and treat them without bias
Review from Engineering Dept
They should not do something where only few employees will be benefited. As a company if they are planning something for there employees, it should be for all not for few
Review from Engineering Dept
Chegg is below par when it comes to retaining employees. Pay at Chegg is way below the industry standard. This can be seen as almost every employee was given a promotion to retain the talent. As a result some handful of people who actually deserved or were in line for promotion were left in limbo
Review from Engineering Dept
compensation, value for employees, work life balance
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
base salary and perks such as fringe points
Review from Engineering Dept
Great medical, dental and vision. HSA, FSA, commuter benefits. Stipend for cell phones. Lots of extras like care.com, Iana Care and EAP support.
Review from Engineering Dept
So far my favorite is Fringe. I also feel very secure with my medical, dental, & vision.
Review from Engineering Dept
The pay feels very fair, I have no complaints about that
Review from Engineering Dept
Given the general economic situation we're in, it's pretty good I think
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
A recent salary increase with promotion barely covered inflation, so did not feel like a salary increase.
Review from Engineering Dept
Salary and equity are below par in the industry.
Review from Engineering Dept
Underpaid in the current inflated world
Review from Engineering Dept
In-hand CTC should be more. Stocks matured over 4 year period of time and subject to market risk
Review from Engineering Dept
There should be slab for all levels. These will make sure that people on same level are paid similar
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Everyone comes everyday and works hard. Each team member is willing to work closely with you to get the task done.
Review from Engineering Dept
Innovation, accountability and positive outlook
Review from Engineering Dept
They are kind. They do not micromanage me. They trust me to do my job. They empower me!
Review from Engineering Dept
Everybody is very intelligent and works hard. Every person on my team is an overachiever.
Review from Engineering Dept
They are very focused on work, meetings start and end on time
Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
As Chegg is not able to compete with the industry standards in paying employees with respect to market standards they are hiring cheap talent and contractors from service-based companies. For example, our team has 4 contractors, 1 intern and 6 full time employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
educate each other so that we have a common knowledge base as a team
Review from Engineering Dept
Stop the unwanted competition. Let's support and help each other instead of being selfish and pushing others down
Review from Engineering Dept
not all coworkers are emotionally sensitive. Particular issues around inclusivity towards workers who are not hetronormative/cisgender unfortunately
Review from Engineering Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
There is a lot of openness to ideas. Team members are also very honest, and feel free to express concerns as they arise, then work through them.
Review from Engineering Dept
Ability to support one another
Review from Engineering Dept
One team, one Chegg. I feel like I can talk to anyone no matter their position. I don't feel like their is a hierarchy.
Review from Engineering Dept
They take feedback seriously, but it can take time to implement change.
Review from Engineering Dept
It would be the large number of support that I have received from much of the company from being trans and disabled. The diversity and inclusion team is amazing
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Invest the time and resources to do things the right way to reap compounding benefits down the road. Listen to the people who are hired to be experts on a particular subject instead of finding excuses to keep taking shortcuts
Review from Engineering Dept
- A regular feedback cycle - Minimize red tape and politics - Thoughtful process making
Review from Engineering Dept
Structured work, more interactions with the team to discuss & individual goals, work assignments better

Collaborating with cross functional teams
Review from Engineering Dept
I enjoy talking to coworkers & getting to know them. I love seeing work events play out successfully. We always have an exciting event or holiday going on.
Review from Engineering Dept
Finding solutions to the challenging problems.
Review from Engineering Dept
The team is small enough that I really feel that I am able to make an impact. The pr's I make are enough that I feel like I know a sizable amount of the codebase
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Executive team is not really doing a good job to retain good engineers and lately I have seen few rules which is disappointing more than 50% of the employees. For example giving a ear bud to only few employees who could make it to the office on home coming day which gives a -ve impression for the CO
Review from Engineering Dept
I will start with an example again, the company came up with the wfh policy but this was subject to the manager's decretion. Non-engineering teams were not allowed to avail this policy though on paper the policy is for the whole organisation. The employee had to bear 10% salary cut for availing wfh.
Review from Engineering Dept
It's a bit of a grind. My manager's style is to literally sprint every minute of every day, and it gets exhausting with all the back to back context-switching.
Review from Engineering Dept
work from home policy and a mixture of half remote and half flex employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
Just go back to the way you were working a year ago. There are a lot of employees who are leaving and the reason is that Chegg is not been able to compensate employees properly. Some of the decisions like forcing people to come back to office etc etc
