Stay Away: Toxic Work Environment - Anonymous employee Conduktor Employee Review

We're sorry to hear you have left Conduktor feeling this way. There are some troubling and personalised statements in this review which we take extremely seriously. As with any start up business that’s scaling in the current economic climate it is common to work in a fast paced environment to deliver new features and projects. This can create asks on teams that can make them feel under pressure as deadlines near, however this is not unique to us but typical of the technology industry at large. The industry itself has been heavily subject to mass layoffs recently as a whole, including big tech such as Amazon, Meta, Spotify and Apple having to downsize. As a young start-up, we have unfortunately not been immune to this. However our founders have strived to remain open and transparent with our workforce over such decisions, constantly living our ‘We speak the truth’ value while we navigate through the external market as we continue to grow. We also ensured that the individuals that were impacted received generous severance packages. The comments you have made against the CEO seem very personal by nature. We have a number of anonymous feedback loops within the organisation to regularly improve and monitor employee experience and satisfaction: anonymous question forums for weekly All Hands, engagement surveys, grievance procedures and most recently company wide 1-1 HR engagement interviews, as well as exit interviews of our leavers; none of which have reflected these concerns or sentiments. As we move from a start up business into a scaled out organisation our focus is also on continuous improvement of our processes. An example of this is the recent implementation of our new levelling framework which has been well received by our teams. We have also recently published people policies and procedures to encourage individuals to reach out to their manager or the People team to discuss any concerns that they may have so as to find an appropriate solution together. Although it appears you are no longer with Conduktor we would be happy to discuss your concerns as they are still important to us, and address any further misconceptions. We encourage you to contact people@conduktor.io.
