Strong Team, Weak Leadership - Anonymous employee Structured Agency Employee Review

Thank you for sharing your perspective on what makes working at Structured special for you, and also what you see as the candid realities of working in a fully remote agency environment, so that those who thrive in this setting will opt in (to the opportunities and also to the challenges). Your sentiment about the people at Structured being thoughtful, driven, and genuinely kind reflects what I typically hear and see as well, whether that be in my 1to1 check-ins with individuals, or on our peer recognition platform, or in the monthly all-hand meeting in which everyone gives a shout-out to a teammate who they see living our core values. I find your observations insightful about how a remote environment demands a certain level of comfort speaking up, needing to take a proactive approach to learning, and the ability to strike the balance between collaboration and working independently. Thank you for sharing! - Andrea (VP, People)

Hello there - thank you for leaving your review and offering your perspective. I'm glad to hear that you appreciated the team; that's been my experience too. I feel quite lucky to work with smart, interesting, and passionate people with diverse skills and deep expertise! As for your critiques, I can understand where you might be coming from. I'm unsure when you left the company, but it might be helpful to know that we now have two structured review cycles per year, inclusive of salary review, promotions, and pay raises, with decisions aligned to competency frameworks, manager input, and peer feedback to reinforce that we're celebrating those who are consistently living our core values. In this most recent cycle, I'm pleased to share that we were able to promote a third of our team, and in the past year, the majority of employees have seen increases to compensation. That being said, it sounds like that wasn't your experience, and I'm sorry to hear that. I'm hoping you are taking the good that came from your time with team, applying what you learned, and doing well now. Thanks again for the feedback! - Andrea (VP, People)
