What does the leadership team need to get better at?
We don't care enough about product quality and the user experience
Review from HR Dept
Stop piping people who appears to be not productive on paper. They are doing crucial work being team players, and with them gone projects will take longer and we no longer know how to handle outages
Review from Engineering Dept
For those of us who have been here > 4 years its discouraging to see how slow our pace is to build a better product for our neighbors and advertisers
Review from Sales Dept
Compensating older employees to compete with newer employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
Making strategic decisions and holding themselves accountable.
Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Comp is low (cash & eq), under leveled (system is opaque), intentionally ambiguous titling framework
INTL teams are spread thin in some areas and when someone leaves we do not get replacements or maternity cover thus having to take on those people's workloads more and more without compensation and without consideration to what that would do to workload and mental workload (aka. burnout)
Review from Customer Success Dept
It's just the equity compensation I feel a little cheated by. I joined pre-IPO and unfortunately the company's stock has fallen a lot since the IPO. My equity value was kinda pegged to that IPO price, and now I'm earning a fraction of that while I'm sure new hires are getting much more equity.
Review from Engineering Dept
I would just like to make more money.
Review from Sales Dept
I pay is behind that of the other social brands we are competing against. Basic salary could be increased to bring us in line with competitors. More benefits like: contribution to travel, better gym benefits, salary sacrifice scheme for electric vehicles
Review from Sales Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
My coworkers are very focused on their personal visibility; my colleagues don't often help with my initiatives as they are considered low visibility.
Review from Communications Dept
'Kind conversations' internally at the company at not a reality. There is a lot of going over other's heads and talking behind peoples backs which is in no way constructive and hurts the performance of the company.
Review from Communications Dept
Some coworker relationships are difficult. I would love to see more kindness from certain team members. I also feel my team is a bit cliquey.
Review from HR Dept
communication and respect. The culture here is very US sided, we should be working as a global team with the US communicating out to us and listening to our feedback/ideas
Review from Product Dept
no one really seems to care or is connected to the company/product. energy is super low in group meetings or any time theres an accomplishment. we all are just a cog in the wheel and feedback isn't really listened to. prod will do whatever they want to do and make decisions that dont make any sense
Review from Operations Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
My US colleagues seem to micro mange, they also tend to schedule afternoon meetings which is an evening for me which affects my W/L Balance. there is no consideration for the difference in timezones at ND
Review from Product Dept
Less reporting meetings. More meetings in which we really support and discuss.
Review from Operations Dept
Actually being a kind person instead of talking about kindness so much
Review from Marketing Dept
Some management teams to have higher emotional intelligence and empathy.
Review from Product Dept
I think we should really put people first

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
For me personally, see the question about compensation. Also, I've been working on a lot of the same types of experiments for 2 years now, so getting a little bored. For the company as a whole, we have to get our costs under control, so we can reach profitability soon!
Review from Engineering Dept
Higher pay, less gaslighting, better benefits, more development opportunities
Review from Finance Dept
While I am focused on solutions and approaching my work in efficient ways, there are a lack of resources that make storytelling difficult.
Review from Communications Dept
support and resources are not divided up fairly. Treatment of high performers is very low
Review from Sales Dept
While ICs are great, the workplace overall is toxic. This comes from the top down. Micromanagement and gaslighting abound.
