Pros

Good benefits, and WFH policy

Cons

They did a massive round of layoffs in early 2023, ever since then the company has not been the same. This was followed by two more smaller rounds in 24' and 25'. A lot of smart and talented people lost their jobs, many dedicated folks who had been at the company for years. Since their management team can't create a positive workplace culture, its easier to just blame others and make cuts. The lack of documentation and formal processes is shocking, especially for a company that's been around for 25+ years. When you combine this with the incredibly siloed org structure, its a recipe for disaster. You'll often hear a response of...."because that's how we do things here". Transparency is non-existent; everything is on a need to know basis. This policy protects the veteran employees, and shuts out the newer talent. Many things are learned just through word of mouth, there's very little in terms of formal announcements. Some employees will be drowning with work, while others do very little, this is just one side effect of their truly incompetent management team.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
