Pros

Flexibility/work from home. There are some managers that are actually qualified to be managers and are great. Most of the people hired are kind and go above and beyond to help others when needed.

Cons

Pretty much the entire marketing department is a mess, wouldn't recommend it. 3 heads of marketing in the last 3 years, unqualified management, mass exodus every spring after the annual conference. The reviews mentioning unqualified management especially at the dir level is very true, but it is a generalization. HR team sweeping things under the rug, also true. Not sure that the cons here are any worse than at other organizations, but they are all due to growing pains. The quality of hire 7 years ago was way below where the company looks for talent today, and being slow to fire hasn't helped sales, marketing or any other department. When I first started, we did have a Workhuman culture. we would get beer and snacks to celebrate a company win, and all enjoy them together at 3pm on a thursday, for example. Now, its seems like its all for instagram. The company appears to spend so much money and resources on celebrating Oreo day, bring my kid to work day, arbor day,.... if there's a day, we funnel money into it and make sure its captured on our instagram page. But then you have managers that aren't trained and talent that isn't performing? It seems backwards and superficial, and a ploy to look very cool and attract talent. Overall, i would recommend working here except in the marketing department.

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.
