good place - Content Creator Shortcut Employee Review

I just hit my one year at Shortcut. I am someone who is a long term employee, I do not like to move from job to job. I was with my former employer for 8 years, and only moved on due to a RIF. I am happy with my position at Shortcut so far. The people who work for the company are pleasant, and I enjoy collaborating with them for work - but also chatting about personal things. Our People Team really makes an effort to connect our Team, since we are all working remotely. The Leadership Team is accessible to all, and also just easy to work with. Its a startup, so if you are not familiar with that environment you may not like it. Our benefits package is robust, I appreciate unlimited PTO + our 16 week (paid) maternity policy. Both things I did not have at my former employer.

Recent changes have left some things with no apparent owners or responsible parties, so sometimes you may have to hunt down who is in charge or takes ownership of some things. The information is sometimes not right in front of you, but everyone is very helpful with helping in the hunt.

- Remote-friendly - Excellent work-life balance - Great product that’s geared toward making users happy - Leadership understands how employee/company diversity (including people of color, LGBT++ and disabled/neurodiverse folks) makes for better products and actively working to update and improve hiring practices to seek out and support more diverse candidates - Leadership is open to feedback from employees - Teams are made up of good people who handle conflict responsively, responsibly, and openly

- It’s a startup, so processes are still being built and figured out - Communication is still sometimes a challenge, but it’s getting better and I feel optimistic about the future
