Pluspunten

Pre-covid, this was a really chill place to work for.

Minpunten

Depending on your team, you could either have a great experience or a poor one. This is extremely inconsistent, pointing towards a poor company culture Benefits were all cut because of COVID. Makes sense. However, with rebounding financials and a recovering economy, the focus was put on rapid hiring, rather than reinstating benefits (partly why I decided to join in the first place). This is no longer a competitive company in terms of compensation. Leaders are being brought in from the most corporate of places, and you can tell that they sit atop their ivory tower, trying to inspire, when they have zero idea what it's like at the bottom of the totem pole. People may be afraid to speak up about that due to job security (also threatened), but unless leadership decides to actually listen to their employees or provide a platform to do so, I'm not very optimistic about the future.

Pluspunten

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Minpunten

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
