What do you like best about the leadership team?
I like how the leadership team leads with DEI in mind and how they responsibly grow the company. Wistia is people first company where profits are important but not more important than our customers or the employees.
Review from HR Dept
Undeniable, constant support. I've never had a manager who believed so hard in work-life balance and speaks to me as a person first, employee second. Mike encourages hard work ethic just by the support he provides his team.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Transparency and approachability, openness to try new things, and that they give us freedom to experiment and take risks without fear of persecution.
Review from HR Dept
They are kind, always willing to help and want to you see you and your work succeed.
Review from Marketing Dept
Down to Earth, no bs people who are genuinely invested in making the product better and care about the company they are building
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
- Be clearer about priorities - Not spend so much time massaging a communication that the communication is muddled and late - Acknowledge the burnout and stop pushing for more from less - Be accountable - clearer opinions, feedback, suggestions on what success and failure looks like for wistia
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Unlimited paid time off and fully covered health insurance
Review from Marketing Dept
The best part is the 100% paid healthcare, dental, and eye coverage which covers me and my entire family.
Review from HR Dept
The benefits are unreal here. The off-sites alone are beyond industry standard.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Base salary is very competitive Best Benefits I've ever seen Equity offering could have a huge payout
Review from HR Dept
The benefits for sure! Love the free healthcare and unlimited PTO
Review from Marketing Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
It's not that I feel undervalued or underpaid specifically for my position, but the reality of even "fair" compensation is that living costs are so incredibly expensive currently that even comparatively fair compensation isn't realistically enough to not still struggle.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Pay is below market and realized profit sharing does not make up for that.
Review from Engineering Dept
- Salary is not comparable to offers from other businesses recruiting in boston - 401k match is shallow - benefits based on remote/in person status are vague - job roles are not clearly defined
What are some of the best things about your team?
I love that there is a high bar of talent here at Wistia so everyone is an expert in their own right but always willing to help no matter how big the task. You always feel extremely supported by your coworkers.
Review from HR Dept
Open communication and the ability to always ask a question when you're unsure of the answer.
Review from Customer Support Dept
My team is super friendly, good at what they do, and not afraid to give critical feedback.
Review from HR Dept
How talented and approachable they are.
Review from Marketing Dept
There are no weak links on our team. Everyone is smart, kind, thoughtful, clever, and compassionate. No one has quit/left our team in over 1.5 years, which says a lot for the strength of the team and company retention.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
You can wave your quirky flag and no one will bat an eye
Review from Marketing Dept
Wistia is a small company so you get to wear many hats and tackle both big problems and small problems as well.
Review from HR Dept
The ERGs are special to just Wistia, imo. Having worked in many tech companies, I've yet to find another who took culture and minorities so seriously that they would actually fund them.
Review from Customer Support Dept
The amount of support and flexibility, and flexible PTO. As a working parent I need to be able to WFH and have flexible hours. No one bats an eye if we need to take time off during the day - it's great.
Review from HR Dept
That everyone feels like they have a voice and the company offers various opportunities to share ideas freely.
Review from Marketing Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
- senior leadership does not seem to feel accountable or mutually aligned - improving but rough - needs to better identify, acknowledge, and act on failure - it would be great if there was acknowledgement of loss of trust in org - clearer communication of roles, responsibilities, and growth ops

I love finishing a project
Review from HR Dept
Connecting with other employees and brainstorming new ideas.
Review from Marketing Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The leadership team has somehow become a lot of micromanagers. They don't practice what they preach around autonomy, trust and DEI
