The Executive team is not focused

Review from Finance Dept

A lack of focus. Time-consuming project tracking bureaucracy with little value to the company or the project's success.

Working with people in different time zones is difficult and inefficient sometimes. We should pay more attention at team resource and allocation in different geos.

Review from Operations Dept

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

Strategic direction of the company seems a little odd. Copy Coursehero as a direction seems rough.

Review from Product Dept

They should continue with work from home or hybrid mode

Review from HR 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

Review from Engineering Dept

Stop putting as much advertising on all products. Start developing new features instead of doing site redesigns. Start incorporating video: gather clips from students, have streaming lessons, etc.

Review from Engineering Dept

Tops down leadership, lack of investment and belief that a product is a worthwhile function, lack of psychological safety for communicating concerns, lack of autonomy in deciding what we work on or how it's done. Suggestion is to remove top leaders in LS who embody that dysfunction.

Review from Operations Dept

Avoid making the easy things hard. Operate as one chegg. Stop assuming that we all know whats going on with everyone. Instead of replying with "thats just the way it is", leadership should take the feedback a bit more serious.

Review from Marketing Dept

Fair chance to grow or level up. Bias.

Review from Engineering Dept

This company has a very top down approach. There is almost never a brainstorming session. Work comes to you from your manager - the nature and output is predecided. There is very little room to be a thought partner. Managers do the presenting, even when they didn't contribute to the work.

Review from Engineering Dept

Just listen to suggestion of root level employees. Only the changes what managers feel are done, and even claimed to be justified. I along with my team members raise the time rates were unjustified. They did not hear. But now they changed it and accepted that past rates were impractical.

Review from Operations Dept

What do you like best about your company?

They offer amazing benefits and a flexible working environment.

Review from Marketing Dept

Dedication to the mission is demonstrated up and down the organization

Review from Marketing Dept

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

They don't seem to prioritize promoting from within.

Training in psychological safety to foster trust and respect of peers
