Postman Reviews

I was very disappointed with the way executives handled our reorganization, firings, and a serious sexual assault allegation at a Postman event. It's understandable that a company of this size needs to go through organizational shifts, and that can be very difficult for everyone involved. However, when management does not stay true to company values, it creates a huge rift. It was unfortunate to see an enthusiastic team get beaten down by uncertainty and poor leadership. Another major issue was that an employee experienced sexual assault at a company event and was not acknowledged by management when this event was reported. The person in question never received any help and ended up quitting because of the unsafe environment. Postman was once wonderful to work for, but in light of my experience, the mismanagement of employees, and the negligent attitude around employee safety, I cannot recommend that anyone should put themself in this unhealthy atmosphere.

• There is no strategy or direction established by leadership. They spend too much time in the micro day to day details, so don’t plan on having a 3 month to 6 month roadmap. • company is built around toxic favoritism. If you aren’t in the right team with the right manager it’s all downhill. • people ops doesn’t have a clue how to maintain morale or provide meaningful support to employees. • lack of transparency into decision making or general company surveying. You can’t ask real questions during all hands cause they will call you out and pulse surveys aren’t treated with respect. • leaders are way to biased. Postman was first to market in a big way, however it’s more competitive now and growth has slowed. The ceo and his reports don’t get how to move things and obsess around the old times. Often you hear “abhinav likes this” but never why a user would. • no cross org collaboration, everything is very territorial. There is no collab and if the right golden child has interest good luck convincing them to do what’s right for the user. If they don’t agree, you do it their way or leave. • postman has been going through rounds of layoffs for a year. Each time either not saying anything or blaming the impacted teams for the companies failures. This again shows lack of capabilities of leadership and a real lack of ability to be accountable. Avoid this company if you are mid tier or looking to have impact.
