Decent gig to get your foot in the door - Feed Specialist Feedonomics Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. If you feel comfortable I would like to invite you to reach out for us to have a discussion. We take this type of feedback very seriously and we would like to hear more in order to address them. For example, “sexism and favoritism is at play for new opportunities” is not something we tolerate. We would like to better understand your experience so that we can evolve our open door policy and escalation requirements that we have in place already. Currently, we are doing quite a few things to ensure we are at the forefront of employee engagement. We have hired a People Empowerment Manager to ensure we are widening the feedback loops for our team members and truly living our cultural principles. This will ensure that we have time and resources dedicated to maintaining transparency and two-way communication throughout the organization. We have now had our People Empowerment Manager meet one on one with every team member in the company to elicit feedback and make sure we are on target with our cultural standards and all living our principles. Feedback is very important to me and to our leadership. Our principles, too, are something we are continually looking at as we grow as an organization. I am disappointed to hear that these did not resonate with you, but when I look around the “room” (even on these virtual calls), I don’t notice a lot of ego or condescending managers attempting to micromanage their teams. We recently held a round of peer-led legacy meetings for all of the company (second of five throughout the year) and the feedback we received from moderators was overwhelmingly positive. It would be good to better understand where you think the execution here is missing. I believe that our team is doing a great job of empowering each other and delegating where necessary. We are not perfect for sure, but are striving to be. Finally, I am confused about your two outsourcing statements as they seem to contradict each other. Because we provide industry-leading 24/7 support to global brands, our clients benefit from a global team that can operate in multiple time zones smoothly and efficiently. We see it as an advantage that our team is composed of people from multiple cultures, countries, and customs. That is what makes us different. English, while a central language that can be used as a medium for business, is not everyone’s first language. We value our multilingual team members and their contributions to empowering our team and our clients. I hope you will reach out to me so that we can continue this discussion.
