Minpunten
It's hard when you feel like the only option is writing a glassdoor review to make sure that no one else gets manipulated or harmed by this company. Unfortunately working for this company has completely tarnished my ability to want to work at a startup again because I cannot get into another situation like this one. The CEO does not reveal that he is married to the head of HR until after you start working there. She is disguised as Head of Operations (Zoe) but the only People Ops person they have reports directly to her. HR is basically just a paper pusher to get things done and can't actually help you in anyway because all notes get sent back to the CEO and his wife. They have fired multiple people over them asking for more work life balance or have pushed people to their limits. They don't care about you as a human being but only what is in it for them. The head of finance is a good guy but he is also best friends with the CEO so no one really tells the CEO no when he wants to spend thousands of dollars on lavish dinners and outings. If you push back about anything, they will force you into quitting or will fire you. Just take a look at all of the people on LinkedIn who have only worked for this company for a year or less. They are just not good people. They make it seem like they are making the world a better place and helping freelancers get to work for themselves but they just want to build a product they can sell and make more money off it. It's really disheartening and sad and I'm only writing this review because they make sure their current employees write good things about them on linkedin, twitter, etc on company time. Anytime a new product was launched we would have to spend company time writing good reviews about it so it became number one on product hunt, they also force people to write good things about Contra on LinkedIn.
