Pros
The workers here are some of the nicest down-to-earth people I have ever met in my professional career! This is the only reason why I continue to stay here.
Cons
Leadership: When founders Brandon & Ed ran the company the employees were much happier, cared about the work / mission of the company, and were treated with respect. Sadly the new heartless leadership that took over has dragged the once great culture down to the gutter. We've had roughly 4 massive layoffs in the past 9-12 months, one of which occurred right before Christmas break. The employees are constantly asked "to do more with less". Everyone is burned out, underpaid, and undervalued. Performance Review: the performance review process is never the same year to year. This year, the process took 6 months to do a yearly performance review... 6 months!! The employees that got promoted were given a merely 2-4% increase and non-promotions were given roughly 1-1.5%. Managers were asked to purposely lower the ratings they gave to their direct reports to meet some HR goal?? The accurate scores given by managers during the review was earned by their direct reports for all the hard work they do and its shame it had to be altered behind the scenes. Hiring Process: majority of the new hires at Stash is all done behind close doors. These job postings aren't even listed on the job site. Essentially, if you did not work with leadership at a prior job, good luck trying to get hired. All the individuals that help built this company have been laid off and have been replaced by former workers of leadership. Culture : Everything said in the reviews below this is 100% accurate! New leadership has created a toxic environment to work in. We used to receive nice gestures from old leadership like free lunches, swag gear, Christmas gifts, etc. The only gift current employees receive now is "congrats you weren't laid off this round". Most of the firm is updating resumes and looking for new opportunities so they can get off this sinking ship.
