Cool people, but lots of politics

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really down to earth and friendly co-workers

Cons

Lots of politics and bad work culture from the Indeed side filtering into GD. It feels like Indeed has the final say over GD people. The Indeed work culture was too toxic and they have poor communication. Hard to get anything done here. The company says it's about transparency, but in my experience, it was the opposite of that. I was hired for one role, but right after I started found out my role was something else. I am still not 100% sure if the information was hidden from me during my interview process, or if the business needs had truly changed after I was hired. If I had all the facts during my interview I would not have left my previous role I was at for 2 years for and loved. HR also doesn't really care. They stopped doing exit interviews - I've never seen anything like this.

Good people lost leadership

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people in this company are solid. There is a really good mission and a product that people need. Really important to provide people with all the information about the jobs that they are going to take. The company as a whole takes care of their employees and were early with work from home options and providing flexible options to work.

Cons

The company as a whole is still having trouble switching from start up to larger stable organization. Strategy is a moving target and there is a lingering legacy leadership with Robert and Ryan that have not let go of the company and are holding it back somewhat. Christian (CEO) is still directed by Robert and doesn't really have a handle on the new product needs. Overall the company is still very much focused on business needs to the detriment of the users. There have been many key people to leave recently and there might be more.

A company changing for the worse

Pros

Really good, hard-working people. Pay bands increased in the past few years, so compensation is much better. Benefits are excellent as well.

Cons

Company neglected content and branding for years and is just now trying to catch up by haphazardly developing new products. Not much room for growth in Customer Success. New company strategy seems like too little too late. Also not much diversity in terms of background, ideas, etc.
