Pros

Unlimited PTO and WFH options for some teams

Cons

Startups can be scrappy and unpredictable but there's no vision at this company. We had a thousand meetings a day but somehow we were never putting effective plans together. Leadership seems clueless and there are way too many people at the top with unnecessary layers of management. Some leaders are very toxic and rude to certain members of their team while picking favorites with others. They only fire/layoff black people while gaslighting you, telling you that layoffs have nothing to do with race. They also refused to provide any detail about the layoffs or why some people were laid off over others.

We value the time you took to review Cybrary on Glassdoor and let us know what you think of your time working with us. Receiving feedback from both current and former employees enables us to hone in on positive trends and focus on our areas for development. After reviewing your feedback, we wanted to address both the positive and negative aspects of your experience at Cybrary. In early 2022, we implemented a project to reinvigorate our culture and how we do work. This project included a revamp to our “work from home” policy. Within this policy, Cybrary has become a “remote first” workplace, meaning in office work is optional for all employees. We have also introduced a “Meeting Effectiveness” initiative with the intent of increasing productivity and engagement, helping to ensure strong communication amongst all stakeholders, promote teamwork and connection, and reduce wasted time while eliminating “Zoom Fatigue.” This initiative also includes “no meeting” Friday’s to help employees reset end of week, organize and strategize, focus on important matters without getting pulled in multiple directions and plan the week ahead. Consequently, Cybrary has also faced adversity in 2022. Due to the ever changing business cycles, unfortunately layoffs did take place. However, we are committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion and working constantly to inculcate these concepts across Cybrary's culture. Therefore, we can assure you that we practiced this commitment throughout the difficult time we experienced this year in the face of those layoffs. We want to thank you again for your review! Please feel free to reach out to the People Team at hr@cybrary.it if you would like to go more in-depth. We value all former and current employees, as well as their feedback, and welcome more conversation.
