Where to start... this company bought Hotjar just to eliminate the competition and get it's costumer base, they destroyed everything Hotjar was as a company and it's product (it is being absorbed into Contentsquare), laid-off many of it's employees and who is left is leaving everyday, there is a mass exodus and management just doesn't care, because this was the plan all along, to reduce the head count, in order to get more profits, and put more pressure in the ones who don't have a choice but stay.
What did they expect when they removed most of the perks, reduced paid leave and changed from the Hotjar global to local salary bands? They froze the salaries and any possibility of a career progression of people living in "low cost of living" countries. The local salary bands are ridiculously low, If people chose to work remotely for a global company, obviously they don't want to get paid the same as the local market.
Management doesn't have a strategy or clue of what they are doing, relying only on the current ex-Hotjar employees to drive things forward, so let's see where this will take them when the rest of them leave.
Company culture is toxic, full of corporate bureaucracy, pressure and micromanagement.
