Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Chegg has an amazing platform, great reach with learners, and has attracted some really smart and amazing people to work here. There is gross negligence in LS senior leadership (VP+), horrendous leadership practices, and lack of clear strategic direction that make everyone want to leave.

What makes you most happy at work?

Being around other smart and driven people

What is the best part about your compensation package?

The additional stock gifts continue to be an asset

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Lack of remote flexibility currently (for when back in-office happens)

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Very inclusive of different groups of people from different backgrounds

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The team members who are fully dedicated to helping learners.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I appreciate the focus on supporting diverse families through a pandemic.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Chegg has a lot of smart people - they're not all leveraged optimally, but it does have some great people.

What are some of the best things about your team?

People genuinely care and desire the agency and autonomy to execute on the core problem for which they were hired.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Be fully invested in the way we commit to our values and initiatives: this includes removing leaders who embody and perpetuate organization dysfunction.

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

Tops down leadership, lack of investment and belief that a product is a worthwhile function, lack of psychological safety for communicating concerns, lack of autonomy in deciding what we work on or how it's done. Suggestion is to remove top leaders in LS who embody that dysfunction.
