A company that walks the walk!

Senior compensation analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fair and equitable pay, better than competitive benefits, growth opportunities, empowerment to build your own brand, freedom to find the right balance that works for your individual situation, a respectful environment where you are invited to be your true and authentic self 24/7!

Cons

The company can feel "young" at times, but it's a youth that's willing to learn, develop, and put in work!

Commitment to diversity in our product has got me feeling excited about our mission again

Senior product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

New strategic company and product direction, especially for how we might drive transparency in the workplace for underrepresented and marginalized people, has got me feeling very excited and connected to the mission. I think there was a bit of "more of the same" kind of feeling since being acquired by Recruit Holdings (parent company of Indeed), but something in the air feels different now. Also gotta really appreciate the company for having a great response to COVID-19 in it's flexible work from home policies so far. Test: Slack me 1:1 if you think you know who wrote this! I'm curious how we can better protect people's anonymity.

Cons

Extreme turbulence for how the rubber hits the road with a company and product strategy shift. It took a quarter for things to start to progress, and not everyone is on board yet which makes it difficult to make plans while half the Product/Design organization is waiting for instruction from Directors and above. I'd like to see us feel empowered to progress the product while we're still sorting things out in terms of a new strategy.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! It's great to hear that you are as energized as I am by our investment and commitment to helping bring transparency around underrepresented groups within the workplace. I feel so fortunate to be working alongside such a talented and passionate group of team members as we pursue this important mission. I'm sorry to hear the frustration you felt surrounding the speed with which we were able to provide clarity around the implications of our new strategic direction on our product roadmap. It's very important to me that we are fostering an empowering team culture and I really appreciate the feedback that we could have done a better job leaning into that culture during a challenging time.

Pros

- Great culture - Work/life balance - Friendly and intelligent coworkers - Pretty interesting work

Cons

- Unclear future - Shifting strategies - Process-heavy at times - Slow to get meaningful work done - Product lacks innovation - Compensation and benefits could be better - Rich get richer with promotions, i.e. it seems like the same prototypes of people get promoted while others are forgotten (maybe this is intentional) - Not always walking the walk with transparency
