Strong product, but culture and practices made it hard to stay - Anonymous employee Workhuman Employee Review

- Leadership often feels misaligned and reactive, with limited clarity or consistency. At times it is unclear who is steering the ship or where it is headed. - There are two very different types of leaders. Some are genuinely strong leaders who care deeply about people and want to do good work. Others lead from fear and insecurity, creating an environment where self-preservation outweighs collaboration. - That fear-based behavior is modeled at the top. The Chief of Staff and CHXO are clear examples of leaders whose approach sets a toxic tone for the broader organization, making cultural change extremely difficult. - Psychological safety is low, and many employees do not feel safe speaking up or offering dissenting perspectives. When they do, there are offen consequences. You have to be very careful who you confide in or share information with out of risk of saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. In my tenure I witnessed multiple examples of very strong performers being pushed out because they didn’t pander to certain status-driven executives - There is a notably high rate of turnover within Human Resources (among other teams). Given the company’s mission and market positioning, this should be viewed as a serious warning sign. - The hybrid work model feels rigid and out of touch with how people actually do their best work. Especially for a company called Work”human” - Compensation is well below industry averages, and there is little investment in professional development or career growth.
