High turnover, low trust, and inconsistent accountability

Pros

• Fully remote structure with contractor’s allows for geographic flexibility • A handful of colleagues are mission-driven and genuinely collaborative

Cons

•The so-called “feedback culture” often functions as constant oversight, creating hesitation and second-guessing among staff • Management frequently engages in gossip, especially around employee exits, which undermines professionalism and trust • Concerns around discrimination are not handled transparently, and those who speak up may face consequences • A non-Black contractor created a custom emoji featuring a racial slur and was not formally disciplined; an executive staff member shielded him from accountability • That same executive is believed to have manipulated departmental metrics without internal review • Accountability is inconsistent—leadership is insulated, while individual contributors are scrutinized • A noticeable influx of positive reviews appeared after a period of internal unrest, which does not reflect the lived experience of many employees

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We rely on open forums like Glassdoor where individuals can reflect on their experiences to help folks get a sense for Jones at a glance. Transparency and accountability is foundational both within the Jones team and with our clients. However, individuals who do not align with our values typically find the work environment challenging. It appears that after receiving our response to your original review on Glassdoor a few weeks ago, which contained several misleading claims, this review is a second attempt to mislead (especially given that your first review was deleted). We want to note this to the Glassdoor Community (and Admins) as the review not only violates the core tenets of the community but now appears to be a consistent attempt to target Jones. Seeing as Glassdoor was founded to give “Power To The People” (Rich Barton, Founder), we believe it’s important to use this platform responsibly and address reviews that intentionally misrepresent the facts. Given that we responded to the original review, our message remains consistent: At Jones, building a great business means delivering on the values of transparency, accountability, and trust. Allegations of misconduct or discrimination are taken seriously with a formal process for thoroughly investigating concerns and taking action. Suggesting that these matters are ignored or tolerated is not only inaccurate but deeply misinformed about how the company operates. Your claims about management, accountability, and transparency appear to come from a place of slander rather than genuine feedback. Our values are rooted in supporting professional growth, which makes us a better team, which makes us a better company. Accountability is a two way street and we expect the same level of integrity from our leadership and individual contributors alike, including when they provide feedback internally or on public forums. As for recent positive reviews, we respect that not every employee has the same experience, and we stand by the feedback from team members who are proud of their work. The latest reviews were a natural result of the company’s 2024 performance cycle - it appears they reflect the general tenor at Jones currently. We welcome the opportunity for new folks to join our team and benefit from the reflections here on Glassdoor! Thanks again, and best of luck on your next steps.

Pros

-Company is winning every week and growing very quickly. The employees all feel a part of this and we win together -Senior management truly cares about their teams. Personal situations are always understood. -Company cares about health and well-being. Went to work from anywhere very early due to COVID. Never pressure anyone back to the office. Allowing team to have a say in any future return to office/hybrid model when things are safe. -Employees all truly get along and are able to have fun while working. -Great career growth opportunities. Take on new responsibilities and learn. -Great health benefits

Cons

With high growth comes a lot of change quickly so you must be able to adapt with that

Thanks for the review! It's encouraging to see that the outcome of our flexible remote philosophy is well received. When COVID hit, we recognized that asking our team to bring their best work to the Jones team is a function of treating health and safety as first priority. Thank you for sharing your experience. The sales team has been an incredible driver of growth to the company. As you know, the Real Estate market is a late bloomer in the adoption of software technology, which makes the sales game challenging and extremely rewarding. Furthermore, our product is changing the daily behavior of property managers, construction managers, commercial tenants and vendors, which means that driving towards a successful customer is sophisticated (and sticky!). Finally, creating a fun environment for your continued growth is what makes founding a company truly meaningful. Thank you for your remarkable contribution to the Jones culture, and looking forward to more growth together!

Do not trust the fake reviews here

Pros

There are none so you should stay far away!

Cons

If you want a company that uses and abuses you, then work here. This company does not care about your well-being and will put you down if you speak up. All the positive reviews are written by current employees to not deter new prospects from joining but once you onboard, you will see how laughable and frat-like the culture is. Their culture compares the startup to a family which is toxic and enables the mentality that they can push their high expectations on you while asking you to devote all your time and effort. Most people have gone and left because they were at a breaking point and yet nothing was done to help them when they asked for it. All the responses on Glassdoor are just that the startup culture is not meant for everyone because it is so fast-paced blah blah. There are plenty of startups that do not deteriorate the mental health of their employees. In regards to employee retention, there is no employee that has actually stayed since the start. The only people that have stayed are the ones with the largest stakes in the company, just take a look at their LinkedIn employees page. The product has no clear direction or trajectory and makes empty promises to clients. If you're in sales and kiss up then it's easy to advance. Many roles are sourced overseas to save $ that they are too cheap to pay employees a decent salary. Enjoy the funding while it lasts, won't be long until the company falls apart.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Your claim of “fake reviews” is surprising. Glassdoor is the trusted leader of verified and anonymous company reviews. We welcome all reviews because Glassdoor is a key resource for startups. Current employees voluntarily submit reviews because they believe it is important to share their perspective. It is also the mission of Glassdoor to give “power to the people” (Rich Barton, CEO & Founder). You are calling these things into question, therefore, readers should question the intention and honesty behind your review. You lobbed a handful of accusatory remarks, so we wanted to respond with some facts to mitigate misinformation: As it pertains to employee retention, we have had employees with Jones since the start. We first started hiring in 2018, and since then four people on our engineering and product team celebrated their two-year and three-year anniversaries. By the end of this year, three people on our sales team and one on our operations team will have celebrated their three-year anniversaries at Jones. We’re thrilled to see team members who have been at Jones since the beginning, and we recently topped up all of their equity grants. As it pertains to building a culture that supports employee well-being, as you know, one of our core values is “Take Care Of Yourself”. This means that the best opportunity we can provide depends on supporting your physical, emotional and social well-being. We promote this by encouraging your daily rest, providing a hybrid workplace, and at the bare minimum taking all your vacation days (with unlimited max vacation). We celebrate personal achievements and stories when our teammates travel the world, build families and achieve life milestones. While we don’t call Jones a “family” workplace, we do believe that supporting each other by “Giving Help Generously”, another one of our core values, is fundamental to a fulfilling work experience for us all. We take pride in our flexible hybrid workplace, which is based on the trust we give our employees to pursue their interests and learning in an adaptable environment. We’ve built trust because our leaders have empathy and openness in addressing the unique needs of each employee. As you know, we consistently talk about these themes on our all-hands meetings, company off-sites and 1-1 meetings with team leaders. We know that building a tech company is super hard, and that’s why we are so proactive about team well-being. As it pertains to company direction, we’re thrilled by the receptivity of the market - our revenue has more than doubled year-to-date while maintaining 94% revenue retention. The numbers indicate that Jones is creating real value for our customers. To continue enabling this growth, we will nurture teammates who exhibit leadership skills, outstanding performance and ability to solve problems for our customers. Finally, our yearly employee retention rates are above 90% - the ultimate metric pointing to a healthy culture, thoughtful leadership and compelling direction. So, in fact most people have stayed. With that said, we’re not perfect, and maintaining employee retention is a constant effort of nurturing culture, ensuring our employees have great mentorship and providing a supportive work environment to achieve personal and professional growth. Thanks again for sharing your review. It’s important to have this conversation transparently so that the Glassdoor readers can be informed on all perspectives. We also invite you to chat with us offline (with your direct manager or HR) so we can further understand your perspective.
