Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about how you feel. Our leaders are actually really invested in the well-being of colleagues but because we have been going through a season of change and reorganisation, things can sometimes feel opposite to what they are. Also, any changes that have been made are in order to help teams work better and deliver at a higher level of performance. For any other clarification on goals/objectives, please do reach out to your manager and wider team because they are committed to supporting you to feel and know that you are set up to thrive here. We hope that you will continue to share your thoughts with us both here and internally so that we can keep knocking down barriers for you to thrive!

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
