Review from HR Dept

I love what I do so this comment may be less helpful than desired. I appreciate the team I work on and each of their work ethic.

Review from HR Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The eCommerce business (core) is dying, AI is coming in, and they are scrambling but haven't figured out how to replace it.

The culture is terrible and the fact that they fire leaders at the drop of hat makes everyone on edge and also, because they leave in a hurry, the next person in that role has little to no institutional knowledge, so the hamster wheel keeps spinning.

Lack of support and menthoring programs to improve performance, lack of sale enablement and customer ready materials

Start at the top and wipe out most of the Senior Leadership team (the General Counsel can stay.) They create goals that are impossible to achieve and then the finger pointing starts all the way down the line as to why they missed their targets. Pure insanity.

Its impossible to know whats going right because you never know whats happening at SSTK.

Wall Street and executives conflate a rising stock price with a successful company. All it means is that they've convinced a few Wall Street analysts to be bullish on the company. Watch for the dump after a few quarters of the Product team delivering products that no customer wants.

New executive team has made one flub after another. China censorship debacle. Slashing of contributor royalties. Acquiring healthy startups only to infect them with toxicity. Driving loyal and dedicated workers away. Short term gimmicks to pump up stock price with no meaningful product work coming

Transparency with our team and customers, better care of our contributors.

Review from Sales Dept

No accountability and they ignore complaints

Review from Sales Dept

We need more latitude to try things and innovate.
