Pluspunten

- Remote culture - Amazing colleagues - Exciting product

Minpunten

- Remote culture also has its cons of not done well. People are expected to work late. So if you think the remote work will give you advantages and flexibility, it will rather suck your energy and spoil the work life balance. A constant pressure, imagine thinking of work over the weekend in a negative way, leading to not willing to start on Monday. - The company has started to see its broken culture which is being cemented by throwing money, the reason is everyone is young and inexperienced. Founders started and can bring the company only till this stage. Beyond this required processes, rituals which many aren’t aware or not ready to accept.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your time at Primer. As a start-up and a growing company, there are going to be plenty of challenges and room for improvement - we’re 2.5 years old, so it’s expected that there will be problems to solve, but we view this prospect with excitement, knowing that we all - as individuals - can have a direct impact on the success of our business by being problem solvers. As you know, innovation is at the heart of Primer, we are constantly rethinking stuff and adjusting if there's a need. Feedback is our data, and we will use it to evolve and set ourselves up for continued success in the future, that’s why we push for an Open Feedback Culture, where we truly value direct and honest feedback - for us, giving feedback is also a way to practice being open and transparent, as it doesn't often come naturally - and for that reason, we are sorry you haven’t provided these thoughts to your manager directly. Remember you also have your dedicated People Partner on hand should you feel that your feedback isn’t being heard. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review with us, People Team

Pluspunten

This could have been a cool company. It's a smart product, thoguh not as innovative and unqiue as the founders think it is. Things that were advertised when I was hired like putting their people first, valuing differing opinions and new ideas, were a farce.

Minpunten

One of the Founders talks so condescendingly to his employees even publicly on slack that it’s alarming. Everyone is afraid to stand up to him so managers, and directors are all just yes men. Maybe the company wouldn’t be going down the tubes if they had listened to employees who were boots on the ground everyday and brought in more unique experiences than one entitled over-educated and pompous Frenchman. Micromanaging was EXCESSIVE at this company, if you don’t trust your employees, what are you doing?
