Pros

A little bit over average salaries for EU and some good benefits . Some colleagues are smart with great experience. Good traveling packages. Use to be a cool product.

Cons

The data team lacks a clear vision, and senior leaders and managers often prioritise appearances and presentations over genuinely making things work. Employees are required to present their work very frequently, leaving little time to focus on producing high-quality results due to excessive meetings and constantly shifting priorities. Colleagues tend to leave suddenly, and communication about organisational changes is poor. When issues arise with leadership, there seems to be little willingness to resolve them constructively, and employees may feel unsupported. There appear to be instances where employment terminations occur without fully transparent or well-communicated processes. I have heard concerns regarding how feedback and performance evaluations are managed, which can make employees feel insecure about their positions. There are reportedly ongoing legal disputes concerning employment practices, and it will be important to see how these are resolved in the future.

Pros

- Office life: I wasn't sold on returning to the office, but they've made it a really lovely experience. I'm not required to come in, just encouraged. I'm enjoying it much more than I anticipated. My meals are taken care of. My transportation needs are covered and flexible - sometimes I take MUNI, sometimes I drive. -On-site culture: Very deliberate about bringing teams together. There are always team on-sites at the office. I appreciate the intentionality in including remote employees. -Products: There's a lot of excitement about the products we're building and how we're pitching ourselves to the market. - AI: We have access to so many AI tools. I think this is a major selling point because my AI fluency is rapidly developing, and Superhuman isn't putting limits on it.

Cons

There's been a lot of change in the last two years. Grammarly acquired Coda, Superhuman Mail, and Rows. Then rebranded to Superhuman. Plus the leadership changes that come with that. You can only imagine the identity crisis that comes with all those changes. It feels like we're starting to come out on the other side, but it's also very clear we're in a moment of change. It can be hard to keep up with all the new products, product changes, and other updates.
