What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Respect the employees and stop requesting them to hound the customer.

Hold tight to the vision that the founders have, the best people doing their best work and striving for perfection, that extra mile increases customer satisfaction. Remove micromanagement from the line managers and avoid using the word resource to refer to team mates.

Review from Engineering Dept

There is a clear strategy and vision from the founders. At the mid management tier there is micromanagement which is a unnecessary.

Review from Engineering Dept

Great founders, mediocre management. My team (engineering) hasn't got a good leadership.

Response from Help Scout

I encourage you to share specifics with the Head of People Ops (Becca) or Nick (CEO)! You may also submit anonymous feedback via the link on the Guide to the Galaxy Confluence page.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

If we did sell but some information was wrong we as employees would get pay taken away

Every employee could leave Help Scout and find a job making 20%+ more money tomorrow. If money & equity is your goal you should pick somewhere else. People don't work at Help Scout for the potential earnings, they work at Help Scout because of the quality of life they can build around work.

We have defined pay levels but the progression through them or whether you match the description is not obvious.

Review from Engineering Dept

Salary band progression and pay levels descriptions are not obvious to how they are rated or implemented. Domain knowledge doesn't seem as highly rated as it should be.

Review from Engineering Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

Respect employees point of view

We're growing quite quickly, a push again for small autonomous full product teams.
