Nice people, just disorganized.

Pros

Tatari's company culture is quite good. Your colleagues are friendly. If you put in your hard work and are willing to learn, you will have a lot of room to grow. Everyone "seems" pretty chill on the outside. And everyone is willing to help you learn and answer your questions at any time. They have unlimited PTO and the colleagues often go out to lunch together.

Cons

The company is growing extremely fast, so be aware of that. There is definitely no hand-holding, which is ok because this is a start up and a new company. However they are moving and growing so fast that they seem confused in the direction of where they would like to grow. This is a very fast past work environment(as expected for a startup). Their on boarding and training process needs a lot of work. They're extremely understaffed and as a new person there, there's barely any training. You pretty much have to learn on the go, which is fine. There's a very high curve and it's shouldn't be expected that you must been be a super star even within a month or two. In fact, most people take time to learn from what I do. But everything is moving so fast and there's no structure with training, so it's quite chaotic and you're on your own. Even if you do the best you can there is no feed back on how to improve when you ask them. HR is really harsh. I have interacted with many HRs. When I was let go it just seemed like they really don't care about you as a person. As for other HRs I've seen, they will let you go but they will be very personable to you and leave you feeling fine. It was not the case with this company. I basically felt like I had my fingers guillotined. Also, they're so understaffed and overworked and you barely have time to even eat lunch. Also, they seem to expect super stars coming in. So if you don't perform at a high level within a short amount of time - Well - off with your head. It really seemed like they care about your as a person at first, but when they let you go, it seemed like they really don't care at all. I understand that this is business. But their HR can do it more in a tactful way. Most people probably act out. Thankfully I didn't.

Thank you so much for your feedback and we will definitely consider all the points you made (on-boarding, HR, feedback, etc.). We are growing fast and along with it, some growing pains, and are working diligently to implement better structure and processes to improve. We are right now implementing an on-boarding process for every new employee goes through a training day where each department will spend an hour providing some background and current projects so everyone can have a more holistic view of Tatari

Pros

- Unlimited PTO (which half the people don't take) - They pay for your health insurance - Co-workers are helpful and nice

Cons

- Many non-tech people are unhappy about the last review cycle. Raises and bonuses were less than the previous year despite the company having a record year. - Non-tech teams work on weekends and on the "mandatory" day off each month. Meanwhile some engineers brag about how much free time they have during the week. - If you like getting constantly pinged on Slack, this is the job for you. - Everyone is my department is over this job. - They're going to force everyone into a hybrid model soon. - They're paying outsiders more than people who get promoted into the same role. - Half the people in management roles have poor people skills and only care about hitting the company goals. - The company has a very frat-like culture. If you're not outgoing or extroverted, you are never gonna grow here and you are going to be ignored.

Thank you for the time you took to provide us feedback. We’d like to highlight some key items to ensure that you have a clear understanding: 1. Tatari prides itself on the culture it has built, including winner of Inc. Magazine Best Workplace for 3 consecutive years, amongst many others. We are committed to providing strong and competitive compensation and benefits (total rewards) packages to our employees. 2. Pay and equity at Tatari are aligned, and sometimes above, market. In addition, annual raises and bonuses are significant at Tatari for the many employees who have outperformed versus their peers; for ones who do not have the same experience, it’s a result of underperformance. 3. Our founders and executive team is comprised of previous founders and senior leaders at fast-rising startups like Shazam, TrueCar, and AdapTV, as well as larger, more established tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Stripe. We do not promote friends; it is the exact opposite–leaders at Tatari (director or VP level) have typically worked at the company for 2+ years before they are put in key leadership positions on the basis of merit. 4. We have launched a series of management training courses to further improve leadership and managerial skills. We have also recently implemented a new robust HRIS system, along with clearly stated career leveling and growth path for each Tatarian. If you are still with Tatari, we encourage you to reach out to senior management or HR, and provide honest and constructive feedback. It’s healthier than dragging your colleagues through the mud and providing misinformation for others to make an informed decision as to whether Tatari is right for them.

Pros

Strong product and product team. Can open opportunities within the larger, growing industry.

Cons

Tatari is still experiencing extreme growing pains especially within the Client Services department. The leadership team is heartless and ignorant to many of the employees’ recommendations and needs. There is a quite toxic culture at Tatari that requires consistent commitment to logging on early/getting off late, with no guarantee of being compensated for your hard work, especially if you are not are part of the small group of employees that have been there since the ‘early days’. They continue to change their policy on return to office, while promoting themselves as a ‘people first’ organization with a majority of employees wanting to remain remote. I would not recommend Tatari to any person that desires an organization that will foster career growth or provide compassion.

We strongly believe that your review lacks understanding of how Tatari operates and how you may be the culprit of your experience–all of which unfairly represent the work and the culture Tatari has built throughout the years and how many of our employees are grateful for what Tatari represents for them. Tatari values its employees for their contributions and rewards them accordingly through our performance review process. Countless employees have been promoted through the ranks (not just the “early day” employees), and we pride ourselves as a Company that grows and nurtures its employees. Management has never stated that Tatari would be a remote culture. During COVID WFH, we actively recruited in cities where Tatari has office locations, knowing that we would return to the office one day. In addition, we rolled out a very gentle RTO policy (1 day a week for ~9 months and recently increasing to 2 days a week) and allow our employees to select the days that best work for them. Tatari will always be hybrid first as we understand that the workplace landscape has changed permanently. Our employees’ voices are always heard and considered. This year, Tatari implemented quarterly employee surveys to focus on different key topics. While we try our best to address key concerns, we also recognize that some concerns will take time to change, and some concerns are driven by personal agendas. Tatari management has a fiduciary responsibility to make the best decision for the company as a whole, which also includes valuing its employees while creating a healthy and challenging work environment.
