Inexperienced leadership - Anonymous Fleetio Employee Review

What’s great about Fleetio is the combination of a strong culture, a product I’m proud of, a market opportunity that feels significant, and coworkers who genuinely want each other to succeed. There is a lot of room to grow, both as a company and as an employee. Expectations are high, but I’ve never felt like I was expected to figure things out alone. In the past, at other companies, I've experienced quite political and internally competitive work environments, and Fleetio could not be further from that.

The company is growing in a healthy way, which naturally means things change and not every decision is perfect. But its no more change than any other high-growth company. Communication around priorities could be stronger but I have also seen that improve in the last year.

The company is regularly setting and making goals - we achieved and got record bonuses last year. The market has been changing and the company adjusts goals to suit instead of getting stuck. This didn't happen for years and things were starting to struggle with scale. Leadership has shown they're capable of making difficult decisions to correct that. Most unhappy folks I hear is that it's not "the old Fleetio" - which is true. We're a very different company at $100m+ than most folks who were here from $1-10m and don't want any change are experiencing.

It's a rapid-growth company and going through all of the common growing pains companies at this size does. I'll say they're handling it better than most any other company I've been at that has gone through this.
