Review from Product Dept
Hire better manager. Train managers to care for their direct reports. Provide path to career growth, support
Review from Operations 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
Transparently receiving feedback from employees about what matters most to them (and sharing that outcome/next steps with the broader company). ex: Flex 3 days became "manager discretion" without acknowledgment that it was an area of concern to many employees.
Review from Product Dept
More communication with lower layers in the organization. Understanding the challenges teams are facing rather than forcing decisions.
Review from HR Dept
compensation, value for employees, work life balance
Review from Engineering Dept
Move toward a business model focused on quality as opposed to quantity. Move from optics to actually doing the work. Create more democratic decision-making structures. Listen to employees and implement changes based on their feedback.
Review from Customer Success Dept
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
Review from Engineering Dept
What are our actual goals? All-Hands does nothing to me to really identify what we are doing. Yes, we are acquiring companies but what else? Is our goal as a company just to make money? I felt like it was more student-focused when I first got here.
Review from Communications Dept
Transparency. For example, apparently a large class-action lawsuit was filed against Chegg within the last two months and NOT A SINGLE person from C staff has addressed this with the broader company. Seems like something that employees should hear about from their executive team instead of the news.
Review from Product Dept
Focus on making good products, not exploiting student needs. Stop making decisions based on quarterly performance and stock price.
Review from Engineering Dept
Be fully invested in the way we commit to our values and initiatives: this includes removing leaders who embody and perpetuate organization dysfunction.
Review from Operations Dept
Slow down and have a clear vision for the brand. Things will change on a day to day basis, but the vision should be pretty steady.
Review from Marketing Dept
Understanding the vision of the company, and how we will continue to grow.
Review from Marketing Dept
people vs profit is important
