Pluspunten
- There are still many employees at Jebbit who very much live the values. They are kind, hardworking, and care about their coworkers and direct reports. - I love my manager, skip, and direct team. They’re some of the most supportive, bright, talented, and kind individuals I’ve ever worked with. - Get to work with huge household names - there’s a ‘wow’ factor in talking through the customer list, and a lot to learn from people in decision making positions at those other companies. - Compensation is fair, if not competitive. Based on the few job postings we did have this year, I think we may have started totally lowballing new employees after we started laying off in early 2023, so that might change for newer employees. - I have never personally had an issue taking advantage of flexible PTO or setting boundaries around working hours, but it varies a lot by department, role, and individual. I know a lot of people who do struggle to do this at Jebbit, for a variety of reasons.
Minpunten
- Lack of transparency from upper management and in general. For a pretty small company, there are hordes of directors and VPs and chief XYZs above your manager who all seem to have differing opinions and are making decisions about your department and your role. - Things seem to change daily at that mid-to-upper management level, and messages that trickle down to lower levels of managers and employees are confusing and contradictory. I never have clarity on whether my role or team is going to continue to exist next quarter, never mind the strategic direction of the team or the company. As a result, I’ve never felt any job security/safety here. It feels like you and your team are constantly under a microscope by people you’ve never met and who have no idea what you do. - 2023 missed two quarters in a row of sales goals by a lot, with big claims made about pipe gen for next year of course. 2022 was the same. Response was to lay off sales people and others, hire yet more senior management, and pivot sales strategy again. - The builder looks and feels dated, is hard to use, and very buggy. Attempts have been made this year to focus on platform stability, but the bug situation is still pretty dire. Some customers seem to not care, but I have seen it create a major headwind for Jebbit with others. It’s hard to believe that we will fix the revenue problem with the product we have. - Though there may have been a time when Jebbit invested in their employees’ growth, Jebbit is in survival mode right now. It’s sink or swim for everyone, and nobody seems to care about growing or anyone else’s growth, just keeping their jobs. Be prepared to prove your value immediately and play the politics game well, or Jebbit will fire/’lay you off’ swiftly.
