Pros

Great WTF embrace, good pay and benefits

Cons

Micromanaging from the top down -- leaders are extremely corporate and a terrible match for the product -- no vision or direction, extremely reactive and poor communication Engineers and sales run amuck -- Too many engineers working on too many superficial projects. Sales pushing numbers that may not be realistic Aggressive evangelization of culture -- HR is completely out of control. Massive amounts of time and money are spent on "experts" in current sensitivity issues in what is obviously lucrative business model. Overly politicizing culture in a pretentious attempt by senior leaders to appear "woke".

Thank you sharing this review of your current experience. We realize that like many organizations, there will always be room and opportunity for improvement, but know we are actively working on these areas over time and are committed to change. As I have very recently stepped into leadership of the People Ops/HR side of P&P in the last couple of weeks, I wonder if you would be open to connecting confidentially for me to learn more about your experience as a means to more meaningful action being taken? - If so, I'd be really grateful - please feel free to reach out via email or Slack. Following our most recent employee engagement survey, leaders have and will be coming together across the org to take critical action around our Top 3 areas of focus of employee feedback (Performance Evaluation, Decision-Making & Communication). Which I hope will truly start to organically address some of the more adverse and challenging experiences you've outlined around direction and communication. Functional leaders (have or) will be setting time to review and hear from their teams regarding key team-level insights on the most important areas that have been identified for action through the survey. Many thanks SP Simon Perry Senior Director, People Operations + Places

Pros

PTO (if you are able to take it)

Cons

Always playing catch up to Calm. Headspace has an inferiority complex to Calm.
