Chaotic and political, bully culture - Anonymous employee Sonder Employee Review

Pros

The problems the team is solving is really interesting, and there's a lot of dedication to deliver a high quality experience.

Cons

The culture is pretty toxic at HQ (and from what I could understand, also at other offices). It's deeply un-collaborative and political. Whoever could get the closest to the CEO got their projects funded and their strategy enacted, so people are jockeying for position. Because it is so political, there is a kind of bully culture that's really off-putting. Some people thrive in that culture, but those who are looking for collaboration and teamwork leave pretty quickly. A lot of the positive reviews are from recruiting pressuring people to outweigh the negative reviews.

Sonder Response

Thanks for sharing this important feedback. We’re proud of the team’s dedication to delivering a high quality experience for our guests, and appreciate you for playing a role in that during your time with us. The other takeaways you described, however, are disappointing. We’re working hard to make the experience better for everyone, and would love the opportunity to chat more about this with you. If you’re open to it, please reach out to hrbp@sonder.com. We continue to ask for more context for these comments so that we can bring specific, actionable recommendations to our leadership team for consideration.

Cons

It's closed now. Unfortunately had to happen very abruptly,
