Pros

* Great company mission * Unbelievable people up to the director level * Hard working and thoughtful employees * Very good solution * Great sales team * Tremendous growth prospects * Flexibility around remote working for many employees

Cons

* Ironically, for a company that espouses employee engagement, the CEO does many things that are antithetical to creating engagement: he chooses not to interact with most employees; he is disparing about people's work; he armchair quarterbacks without offering helpful input * Most of the executives seem afraid or unwilling to disagree with the CEO * Vast majority of employees don't get equity * Micromanagement and inefficient workflows * Product team has been woefully understaffed for more than a year

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
