Pros

Remote The Team is incredible

Cons

Bought by Contentsquare Anyone reading this all of the Perks mentioned here and that Hotjar are famous for are gone. Values Hotjar lived by are no more. Localized pay and existing team members described as "overcompensated" Multiple RIF's and culture of fear. Lack of transparency

Pros

A transparent organization: teams are involved in the decision-making process for all initiatives even the most strategic ones. Feedback is shared on a consistent basis in a constructive way across and within teams. A fully remote organization that lets you manage your workload as you need, gives you a lot of flexibility, and trusts its employees - no micro management!

Cons

An organization that is growing fast and constantly innovating which in turn moves too quickly at times, this can create a bit of chaos or confusion internally. But these are the typical growing pains of a successful scale-up organization.

Pros

used to have amazing perks, health care benefits, transparent company culture, high morale, worker-centered work place, remote

Cons

new leadership with the acquisition of Contentsquare and Heap is doing away with the once awesome culture, introducing rounds of layoffs and cutting benefits of Hotjar employees by 15k while pretending that it's not happening, cold, vapid culture, fixated on the bottom line with a money-first approach, giving people more responsibility with no pay increase, stalling merit-based pay increases, stifling the atmosphere of open dialogue
