FluentStream Technologies Response
3yThank you for taking the time to share your experience with FluentStream. We value all of our current and former employees’ feedback, so we appreciate you being candid during your review. We’re also proud of all the pros you have mentioned such as the discretionary PTO policy, fair pay, and having a great CEO. We’ll address some of the challenges you mentioned in hopes it can provide better clarity for prospective employees.
- We are a rapidly-growing organization with big aspirations. This creates unique obstacles and challenges that can be frustrating for sure, but also super fun and rewarding to overcome. We try to attract Streamers that share in this growth mindset.
- It goes without saying, but the behaviors you describe speaking about politics in the workplace is completely unacceptable. We are deeply committed to diversity & inclusion. There’s a reason our #1 company value is We’re All in This Together. At FluentStream, we are committed to building an environment where our employees feel included, valued, and heard. Our belief is that a strong commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging enables us to move forward with our mission. Based on your feedback, we are working to facilitate spaces where any Streamer can feel comfortable sharing your experience so we can understand how to improve your situation and that of the other team members you described in this review. In the meantime, our CEO would be happy to speak directly with you (please email hr@fluentstream.com if you would like to take him up on it!).
- Your suggestion about the CEO meeting with more team members is noted. Despite our best efforts to meet regularly with all company meetings, we know that we can grow in this area so that he can hear firsthand how employees feel.
- Building and maintaining connections and culture in a remote environment is a challenge that many companies face. At one time, we did try introducing levity to our weekly team meeting by having a team member briefly present on a random, non-work related topic. For many people, these were entertaining and sparked discussion, for others this fell flat. We stopped doing these around two years ago.
Thank you for coming forward and sharing your feedback. It’s important to hear all perspectives, even (especially) when they’re critical or hard to share.
