The NEXT Yelp/Zenefits/Away (Avoid at all costs!) - Operations Manager Diffusely Employee Review

As a young, tech startup we have grown rapidly in NY by hiring individuals who are ambitious and can adapt with us as our client base grows and demand increases. This, paired with the fact that many of our open positions have been entry level, has led us to develop quite a young office. We promote employees based on their commitment and merit regardless of their age and over the past 6 months have seen 14 promotions. That being said, we have also made strides to train our employees. For example, we recently took part in a three stage manager’s training and a learning and development program is to be spearheaded by our incoming HR Specialist to ensure the newer and younger managers are able to develop upon the pre-existing skills that earned them their promotions. Meero does sponsor a company Happy Hour every other week after our office all-hands meetings where we do have employees playing games such as beer pong. These events are always after company hours and completely optional. We do this to give employees a chance to unwind and spend time getting to know each other. It is meant to be inclusive and fun. We have also been striving to develop our office culture by incorporating more non-drinking related events, charities and clubs. Regarding the in-house HR role, as this is going to be the first hire of it’s kind for our US offices we have made a point to screen a high volume of candidates to ensure we find the best person for the role. This has caused a longer timeline for the process than originally intended but we agreed that it is necessary for our expected 2020 growth. Thank you again for your feedback, and as a current employee, we hope you start to see our efforts improve. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that we implemented an open door policy last quarter and would encourage you to take advantage of that time to share your thoughts with our General Manager.
