Pros

Competitive salaries, remote flexibility, interesting product, many good employees attracted

Cons

For my ~year in the company, from a very promising and motivating environment it turned to its 180° in the last 2-3 months. The situation is totally "leave the ship". 4 from 5 VPs fired in a month, not replaced. Cuts in people and costs, performed in abusive and bulling way. Toxic, chaotic and blaming environment. People become less and less, opposite to the work load. People who stayed are constantly blamed and bullied to take more work and responsibilities. The values and culture which are promoted so much changed in practice totally with the change of the economic environment. Management does not live their values - no respect, no appreciation, no transparency. Worst of all, not even normal human attitude from them towards employees! In difficult times the true faces of people are revealed and Jiminny management doesn't have a beautiful one. For your own good, stay away!

Ouch, that’s a review full of words which I don’t recognise in Jiminny. I never like to be defensive in receiving feedback, in fact my stance is first to try and put myself in the shoes of who is writing it and see the truth in every review - especially the bad ones! You’ll see examples of that from reading other responses. Trouble is, I have little clue as to where you were based and who you worked with to help investigate your perspective a bit more - in many ways your review says a lot but also gives little away. It is correct that 3 VP’s left our business this year, not 4 and certainly not in the same month. They left us between January and June. To add context we had 8 VPs on our Senior Leadership Team at the start of this year, for a business of less than 100 people that's a very high amount of leaders. I share that so that people understand that we’ve still got 5 VP’s running the business because I could imagine people thinking we barely had any left after reading your review. Beyond that, everything else in your review just leaves me wondering why, why you felt so mistreated here. I speak on behalf of the whole Exec team when I say we don’t tolerate any of the behaviours that you mention in your review and Im curious as to why you yourself didn’t use our beopen value to share what you felt was wrong at the time? Well, that value is very much alive here and even though you’re not with us, I'd welcome you to call me and chat through what happened during your time at Jiminny. Shelley 07925188578

Pros

The founding team comes from a background of successful startups so they know how to grow and scale out the team. As an added plus they really trust each employee and empower them to bring about change and contribute to the company's goals. Having come from companies that focused on employee engagement Jiminny's leaders ensure the team is compensated and treated well.

Cons

As with any startup your building something that requires a little elbow grease. So don't be afraid to get in and roll your sleeves up!
