Leadership team is very proactive and constantly improving the company
Review from Engineering Dept · Posted a month ago
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leadership goals do not match Feel like they play politics with the resources Dont treat employees as individuals
Review from Engineering Dept
Telling the truth, not treating employees like children
They need to listen to the people they hire. They hire people as experts and then take all the decision making power from them. They are constantly fighting fires with no real strategy. People are burnt out and if you try to speak up, you will be out the door.
Review from Marketing Dept
Communication, leadership, guidance. Actually manage employees. Improve onboarding
Leadership thinks they own your and does not care about employee work/life balance.

Competitive salary and health benefits.
Review from Communications Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Better 401K would be helpful
Increase in the number of stocks is desired. But increase in the base salary is must needed. The base salary is too low and not great due to the HCOL in bay area.
Review from Engineering Dept
Industry benchmarking is needed at this point in time.
Review from Customer Success Dept
Get comparable pay like other employees
With growth comes expectations. But those expectations are done at a non macro level. The peanut butter spread quota doesn't apply in all accounts and territories. Big changes in compensation has always been a negative impact on employees that have been here the longest. Retention is not a thing
What are some of the best things about your team?
Cutting edge tech and fast paced

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
clear opportunities for growth/advancement, and better training budget availability

Replace execs, starting with the head of HR (LH)
Consideration for others 1. Book a meeting or huddle room if you need to talk for a relative longer period of time 2. Release booked rooms if you don't need them

Management needs to care more about work/life balance
Pace at which we work and things are expected to be done

The process has evolved a lot since I interviewed, but I like how it's more data-driven for assessing capabilities aligned to the role.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Need to get a person through in 6 weeks or less. It took many monthts.
Don't do 8 interviews with someone. It's unfair on there time and you should know in 4 maximum if the person is right or not.
Review from Marketing Dept
Too much beaurocracy. We are missing out on great talent
It is to long, to many interviews
Have more of a structure. Random people get chosen to interview sometimes, and there's little structure or prep

Review from Customer Success Dept
Workload is crazy sometimes! We have amazing people and a meaningful mission though to balance
Review from Engineering Dept
Poor leadership kills morale, kills the passion that employees bring to their role, and eventually creeps outside your company walls into every single customer transaction.
Review from Operations Dept
New leadership came in full of arrogance and brought all their cronies ( even when they weren’t qualified) and have basically destroyed the culture and morale. Employees are leaving in droves....low
