Does not practice what they preach

Pros

Flexible work model (wfh or hybrid) Free food, coffee, snacks in office

Cons

Recognition and making work more human is not embodied by the company - they do not practice what they preach Leadership creates chaos and confusion - felt highly micromanaged and not empowered to make a decisions Way too much office politics, relationship between Dublin and US office is tense - constant completion between teams that is unnecessary and prohibitive to getting anything done No alignment on goals No clear roles and responsibilities Everything is over complicated No career growth and noncommittal feedback from leadership when topic of promotion, compensation is brought up

Thank you for your feedback. Its disappointing to hear you felt your experience in your time with us was not a positive one, we wish you all the best in your new role. We promote cultures of belonging through our recognition platform and programs. We are super users of our own product and so witness firsthand the many moments of gratitude and appreciation shared by our humans each day. As you will know there have been several key additions in 2022 to our established leadership teams across the whole organization. This, along with some progressive organizational changes have all been part of now operating as global teams while being more connected in terms of strategy and tactical execution. This is all part of the transformation required when an organization scales at the level we have over the last few years. We are embracing the challenges presented and are well on the way to realizing the benefits of these important change initiatives. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

-Award system but manager now cuts/rejects awards so its not really a pro anymore -Gym -Free lunches / snacks -Healthcare

Cons

-Stress of the workload, understaffed -Bad management -It doesnt matter how good a company is, if you have a bad manager it makes you dislike the place regardless -Awards being rejected - Making everybody come to the office most days. -no work life home life balance -Telling employees to work over their working hours because so understaffed -if you have a family to go home to or a life outside of work this is not the company for you, you'll feel penalised for leaving the office at the time on your contracted hours.

It’s disappointing to read your comments about how you view your experience here. As you have been with the team for a long time you will most likely be aware that we have recently, like most other businesses, moved forward with our ways of working policy. If your department or role (and your established contracted working arrangement) has a mandate for a particular way of working (fulltime, hybrid, remote) then we appreciate this will be a change in how you have experienced work over the last few years, while the offices were closed. Many of our employees are parents, others have commitments in their personal lives and as a business we support flexibility to ensure work/life balances are maintained. This is reflected in our recognition as a great place to work for women and our active Parents @ Workhuman ERG. I you feel the above doesn’t reflect your working experience I have an open-door policy, and invite you, and any other employees, to discuss your feedback with me directly, as that is the best way to be heard and to address your concerns directly and in confidence. Thanks for the feedback.

Pros

Nice looking office, some nice people

Cons

- horrible product, waaay behind their competitors. - fake positive environment (toxic) - stressful environment - volatile management - legacy technologies - dinosaurs every where - they look open for changes but they are not (don't let them fool you for this) - hypocritic management - managers only job is to leave emojis on slack messages - w.o.k.e.

Thank you for your comments. While we are disappointed that you feel this has been your working experience, we are proud of the culture here at Workhuman. This is reflected in engagement scores, external awards, and most notably in attrition data which is lower than most of our industry peers and benchmarks. I would encourage you to come speak to me to try to address the issues you feel are your personal experiences here as that is the best way to be heard and to address your concerns directly and in confidence.
