Toxic - no career progression - Quality Engineer Immutable Employee Review

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences about Immutable. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed working from home and made use of our flexibility offerings. We know the recent restructures have impacted the roles of some of our employees, and we understand that this can lead to people feeling frustrated and saddened by these changes. We want to support anyone feeling this way, so we encourage you to reach out to use our Employee Assistance Program and coaching services. We disagree that we solicit five-star ratings. We offer every employee the opportunity to post honest ratings, and we are pleased to see that so many Immutables love our culture. We are surprised to hear your experience was one of disorganisation and chaos. We often hear the opposite of having lots of structure and process in place. We also disagree that early employees receive advantages such as promotions based on their relationships with founders. Our promotion outcomes do not reflect this at all. We are also proud of having a mix of early stage employees and newly hired executives in senior management roles, all bringing diverse backgrounds, qualifications and experiences. In response to your comments in relation to giving feedback, as you would know, one of our values is ‘We lovingly speak our mind’. Feedback is an important part of our culture. We ensure that there are multiple channels for every Immutable to communicate with and give feedback to colleagues, their manager, the exec team and founders. Hopefully as you experienced during your tenure, there are office hours for all execs, there are regular town halls and AMA’s as well as multiple employee engagement surveys and listening cycles per year. In saying this, not all feedback can be taken on as leaders need to make tough decisions with trade offs. In relation to your comments about our funding and hiring, we have been open about our strong financial position and our hiring throughout the re-organisation as these decisions were not related to funding issues but were made as a result of strategic changes happening in the Company. Change is part of the journey for fast-growing companies. We appreciate the time you took to write this feedback, and if you wish to share any further details on your experience at Immutable, reach out to me, Kath Rau, at kath.rau@immutable.com. Thank you.
