Free cold brew on tap

Hi there, Thanks for your review. Some of the comments indicate that you may have left us some time ago -- we have been remote since March of 2020, so comments about cold brew and awkward environment are a bit hard to contextualize. If you did leave us a while ago, it's important to note our continued focus as a remote-first company: having a diverse workforce is a priority. It is also a significant market challenge for all technology companies. Our diversity, specifically regarding our African American/Black and Hispanic/Latinx populations, is on par with or better than other technology companies. What’s equally important is creating and supporting a diverse workplace an environment where all races and identities feel safe and have opportunity to grow. This work is never done -- so while we remain committed to creating safe space for everyone, I’m proud of the work that has already been done by our ERGs and our leaders. I look forward to continuing our good work that enables all employees the opportunity to learn and grow. Toward that end, we have created a Career Framework that provides clarity on where roles reside from an organizational perspective, as well as what is expected in each role. If an employee wants to change roles, they can look at their current role as well as the role they'd like to pursue, assess any skills gaps and craft a plan to bridge those gaps, all with the support of their people leader. Finally, we feel pretty good about our product. We've recently launched our Thrive platform, we've rebranded and updated our Vanilla platform with leading industry integrations and we continue to innovate our Online Community offering. We've reiterated our commitment to all of our existing customers. And the analysts agree. As proof that it is working, we continue to receive high marks from our customers on G2 Crowd and others. I hope you’ve landed in a place that is meaningful and fulfilling for you. -joanna chief people officer

Pros

Remote work flexibility is a genuine perk. Management largely stays out of your way and lets you do your job, benefits are solid, and the people you work alongside are great.

Cons

Pay is already below market rate for the field, which is a problem on its own. Compound that with consistent scope creep — responsibilities and workload steadily increasing without any compensation adjustment, whether through added duties or reduced headcount — and it becomes really hard to justify staying long term. Leadership tends to focus heavily on mistakes rather than recognizing what's going well, which makes it hard to feel valued. Career growth is also a significant pain point. Advancement paths aren't clearly defined, and openings are rare enough that upward mobility feels more like luck than a realistic goal.

Hi there - Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am glad to hear you value the flexibility of remote work, our benefits, and the people you work alongside. I understand compensation is important, and I take feedback on pay seriously. Our framework is built using market data to balance fairness, consistency, and competitiveness across our remote workforce. I also recognize that roles and responsibilities evolve as our business evolves. In the past two years, we have focused on providing the tools, resources, and support people need to reduce repetitive work, focus on higher-value contributions, and continue growing with the company. That evolution should come with clear expectations, meaningful recognition, and visibility into career opportunities. I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and will continue to look for ways to strengthen the employee experience. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss directly. -joanna chief people officer
