Pros

•Pay is competitive and certain benefits like sick time, mat leave and equity are good •Great for folks who like detailed processes and highly engineered workflows •Clientele is great, customers from my experience were solving real world problems and solution felt genuinely needed by many •Culture is non-traditional, meaning it's a great place to move up quickly or move laterally if you align with Sitemate culture

Cons

•High level of micro managing that I have never before witnessed or experienced •A very public system of feedback that came across as harsh from my perspective to highlight shortcomings and issues in public slack channels of individual team members •Diversity of thought didn't seem to be valued. From my perspective, different ways of thinking were not valued, and hiring a homogenous group of people seemed to be more of a priority to preserve the culture. •Management could benefit from more training around communication, interpersonal skills and conflict resolution. •Moving targets for success, metrics for success / failure felt subjective to the manager, with little strategic framework which, from my perspective, introduced bias and impulse into employee evaluations, making it difficult to determine if you were doing a good job or bad job. •Disproportionate assigning of unpaid social labour by gender, including expectation to book team lunch reservations, outings and even the annual company wide offsite without consultation or meaningful benefits. •Poor change management, multiple mass firings / hirings during my tenure, sudden role changes and role change reversals that point to lack of proper planning and change agility.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback, and genuinely, thank you for what you contributed while you were with us. Building out a new region is hard, ambiguous work, and we don't take that effort for granted. You're right that Sitemate is a direct feedback environment. We share feedback openly when there are lessons the wider team can learn from, and we keep it private when it's relevant only to the individual. We're upfront about this before anyone joins, through our blog, website and hiring process, because we know this environment suits some people and not others. We also know we don't always get the public versus private balance right. When we miss, we treat that as feedback on us, and we've made changes off the back of exactly this kind of input before. One thing we hold to deliberately: we don't publicly explain decisions that affect individuals, because protecting people's privacy matters to us. We accept that it can leave questions unanswered, including yours. We wish you every success in what's next.
