Positive Reviews From wikiHow Employees

  • What do you like best about the leadership team?
    The leadership team is always available to talk and will make time for any employee. They also listen to feedback and are always open to making changes.
  • What did you like most about the interview process?
    I got to talk to a variety of people at the company and understand more about how the company works. Usually it's just HR and the department you're in but with this company I got to talk to a real cross-section of employees.
  • What makes you most happy at work?
    I like being given opportunities to learn and grow. I get to see what other people are doing, and co workers are happy to answer my questions or jump in and help me with something I'm trying to do. If I feel stuck, my manager works with me to find ways to make work more engaging.
