Awesome company, friendly coworkers, good benefits - werkgeversreview Software Engineer bij Automattic

Thorough and thoughtful onboarding process. Super supportive coworkers. The vast amount of resources to learn is second to none. Leads and mentors proactively check in and offer support constantly. Diversity and inclusion is amazing.

I do not have any cons at this time.

It's a fairly easy place to hide and rake in money if you can talk a good game. The CEO is easily influenced by the Chief People Officer, so if you can stay on her good side, you are on the gravy train. Benefits are good.

The CEO will threaten the workplace with being replaced by AI because he doesn't have a clue what he's doing or how to influence people. The CEO will start bizarre fights with customers on Twitter and will expose their details. It's a distracting place to work and everyone that has stayed here is on edge about losing their job any day of the week. They are not doing anything innovative and it's a dying product. You can tell this by the distinct lack of investment. I get paid very well, but that's only because I have the Chief People Officer onside. Salary increases are random and there is zero transparency. The CEO also has weird and inappropriate relationships with some staff. He bought the Chief People Officer a $10,000 chair and that person now makes jokes about holding it against him if he tries to fire her. This is one example of many, of the complete unprofessionalism all round.
