My experience has been very good. Got to learn a lot of things. I have improved as an engineer and human being.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Over the years the if I draw a graph I would see a downward trajectory for the Chegg.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Team bonding is great. The team cares about each other. We support and fill in for the people just in case they are away.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The company is providing a week off to recharge the employees. Reward employees with quarterly and half-yearly awards. Chegg star to motivate and appreciate people.
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.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I would have said Chegg has an excellent culture if you have asked this question to me during the year 2019 and early 2020. But at present, there are policies which are marked with a small * where everything is according to management decretion.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
We compare ourselves with the big 5's FAANG and other tech giants but when it comes to paying we are not even compensating the employees fairly. An unfair market correction was done for the employees. These is the reason that we have seems lots of people moving out of company.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Chegg is paying a salary in the range of 60-70% of market standards. The company did a market survey(of salary) at least which was told to the employees and it was mentioned that the data that they have used for the market survey was for year 2019 as sufficient data was not available for year 2021
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
In the past 1 year, Chegg leadership seem to contradict each other. For example, they seem to care about the employee and there well being but are opening up the offices even though the situation is still not at its best. There seems to be a lack of transparency in many situations in the past 1 year
