Pros

Some extremely smart and driven people especially in sustainability. A good environmental mission (though there is less focus on that now).

Cons

Don't pay attention to any Glassdoor review from more than 1 year ago. Because Normative has become a totally different company since after then. Every single C level executive is different now than it was one year ago. There have been two rounds of layoffs and everyone is afraid of a third. I have seen really competent people on other teams get laid off because their manager was feeling threatened. (Luckily I have a good manager but it still makes you think) Like many companies Normative has the One Team motto but it is only used to make you do things outside of your job description and to work overtime. Basically you are asked to sacrifice for Normative but Normative does not support you in return. Most people are looking to get out. Normative is not a place to be for the long term.

Pros

- Talented and collaborative teammates - Cool mission and vision

Cons

CEO is a highly emotional leader, and his style tends to be quite micromanaging. People hesitate to speak up or challenge ideas.

Thank you for the feedback, for your contribution at Normative and sorry to hear about your concerns. The whole leadership and I strive to create a workplace where we move at pace but where everyone can express their perspective. This is why we invest so much in creating a culture of transparency (monthly all-hands, regular comms on slack, all team targets achievement available on company-wide documents, Eletive platform to collect people's feedback - anonymously or not, etc.). It is hard to find the right balance, but if that was not your experience, then we will try harder! - Seb, CEO

Thank you for the feedback, for your contribution at Normative and sorry to hear about your concerns. The whole leadership and I strive to create clarity so that everyone understands what we are trying to achieve, why and how! This is particularly important at times of rapid change: whether it is in our industry or the software industry in general. But often, what feels like agility to a management team can look like a lack of structure to everybody else, so your feedback is very welcome. Let us act on it in the coming months! - Seb, CEO
