Pros

The environment at Conductor is incredible. You come to work happy everyday. The culture is what I value the most and here it is extremely uplifting everyday. The company as a whole tries its best to be transparent to their employees. The people around you are all nice, fun and sweet. Everyone is a joy to work with everyday.

People-first fallacy, inexperienced management

Pros

Fun young company, happy hours are considered a benefit. Unlimited PTO, but good luck being able to take more than a single day. The people are great and try to take care of each-other throughout the company’s turbulence.

Cons

Conductor is a shell of its prior “Customer first, People first” company. I’ve been at the company for over two years and have watched the company and management’s decisions get worse Year over year. Since the spinoff from WeWork they’ve taken advantage of their younger staff and work them like dogs without proper compensation. This is all because a number of folks quit, there were lay offs and they refuse to backfill. There’s a difference between working harder through tough times and completely taking advantage of your people.Management doesn’t want to acknowledge the feedback about lack of bandwidth because that means they’ll have to spend money they don’t have. Sales has way too much influence on the business. The CEO is personally a great guy but needs to hire a proper C-suite to make the business decisions before the company is driven into the ground. The company itself is having an identity crisis of whether its a technology platform or an agency which is at the crux of their problems.

Tries to be "People First", but always a day late and a dollar short

Pros

The leadership team at the very least attempts to practice a "people first" mentality, which is inspiring. There's a lot of genuinely good people on the ground floor and entry-level who are trying their best. There's relative freedom to work how you want, within reason.

Cons

Questionably talented leadership - too many "big ideas" people with no ability or desire to help execute. Similarly, there's are way, way too many managers - and despite this, there are constant communication issues. The number of Engineers and Product employees who understand and/or care about the product can be counted on one hand (amongst a team of 30-40) which is obvious and terrifying to the rest of the company. There's a lot of senior and longtime employees who are way, way too comfortable and who have more authority and power than they deserve.
