Genuinely care about their employees

Pros

I've never worked for a company that genuinely cares about its employees more - personally and professionally. They are the first to help and the management level is incredible. The interview process is extensive but it truly is just to make sure they have the right people in the company.

Cons

Genuinely can't think of any. I think department culture is different in every department, so experience could vary, but I don't see how you could have a negative experience.

Great people but slow to adapt

Pros

Great work-life balance, awesome company perks, passionate coworkers. Not necessarily a pro nor a con, but the CEO is completely removed from the day-to-day. The COO runs the show, so that tells you the state of the company (not in much of a growth stage, more of a maintenance stage).

Cons

* The product is in DIRE need of a total refresh. It was build in the aughts and it feels that way. Leadership has shown no signs of modernizing its look and feel, instead opting for small, incremental updates that take forever to roll out and don't get to the root of what customers need to fully adopt the product. * The company uses EOS, an extremely dated management system that has rigid boundaries. It's nice that meetings are generally held to the time that has been dedicated to them, but I don't like rigid processes like this. * Good luck being successful if you didn't already use the software before joining or didn't know someone to get you in the door. The learning curve is extremely steep. * Jackrabbit operates as if titles don't matter outside of the company, and as such, your salary won't reflect your true worth. You also can't have a 'manager' in your title if you don't manage people (eg., Product Manager, Client Success Manager, Marketing Manager) are titles reserved only for someone who manages a team. * Almost everyone is white with a very limited number of exceptions.

The great thing about Jackrabbit is that we encourage open dialogue and all viewpoints are welcome! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and advice with us. We do appreciate you mentioning that we offer a great work life balance, awesome company perks and passionate coworkers! However, the biggest concern we have is that we apparently did not have the opportunity to clarify with you a few items that you raised. Yes, it is true that I am not involved with most of the day-to-day, but this is intentional and allows Jackrabbit to grow even faster. When I was acting as both CEO and COO, I was bottlenecking the growth of our company and doing a terrible job at visionary tasks. With 30% growth last year and a new product in the works for the childcare market, I don’t think anyone believes we are in maintenance mode. All successful products eventually become dated and need a UI refresh, and that's where we are! We have invested significantly into UX resources and our UI refresh effort is well underway. Jackrabbit's products are very broad and very deep, so yes, there is a learning curve for both employees and clients. That is why we provide comprehensive onboarding programs for both internal and external Jackrabbit users, and why we continue to be recognized for the best product support in the industry. EOS is one of the more recent leadership frameworks to develop "traction" (pun intended) in business--EOS implementations are occurring all over the world right now. And, we have worked extremely hard to ensure that we align jobs to market and pay market salaries to everyone on the Jackrabbit team. One item that we recently clarified across Jackrabbit's leadership team is that an employee can in fact have a "manager" title without direct reports when that is a common practice for the position. Last but not least, we remain very focused on improving the diversity of our workforce and are relieved to see increasing diversity across applicants for recent job openings. Thanks again for your feedback and we wish you the best in your future endeavors!
