Management issues hold back a great team - Anonymous employee RaiseMe Employee Review

As a mission-driven organization, we pride ourselves on our company values, the talent and diversity on our staff, our product, and most of all, on our collective commitment to improving the livelihoods of our student users. We’re glad that you feel positively about these attributes and agree that we have an exceptional team! With that said, we acknowledge that there have been growing pains associated with continued progression and growth at a startup of our size and stature. We’ve actively taken steps to address these challenges over the last several months - including implementing a new professional development and performance playbook to help guide individuals’ career progression and growth, investing in new diversity and inclusion initiatives (both for existing staff and for recruitment at all levels), and hiring more senior leaders to shorten feedback loops and improve the flow of dialogue within teams and across the company. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. As you indicated, inclusion and humility are two of our core values and we strive to be the sort of workplace where employees always feel they have an outlet for voicing their opinions and where company feedback is evaluated and taken to heart. Moving forward, we hope you will feel compelled to share additional ideas and feedback with myself, your manager, or our Director of Operations.
