One of the better places I've worked

Pros

Let me start by saying that I've worked in a number of different companies at this point in my career. None are perfect and Equi is no exception. That being said, it's one of the better places I've worked for three reasons: 1) Good people (including leadership, despite what some of these reviews say) 2) Interesting work 3) Flexible hybrid culture

Cons

I think the founders could do a better job of hiring. They tend to bring on the wrong people and then we all suffer. For example, we had a circle of drama queens that included the former leaders of Marketing and HR, and they went from loving the founders to absolutely hating them. They made a sport out of badmouthing the founders and it really degraded the culture for all of us. I wanted to focus on doing good work and working with good people, but this created a massive distraction that I didn't enjoy.

Thank you for this honest and constructive review. We're grateful you found Equi to be one of the better places you've worked, despite the challenges you experienced. Your three positives mean a lot to us, especially your faith in our people and culture. You're absolutely right about our hiring missteps. We take full responsibility for bringing in individuals who didn't align with our values and created the toxic dynamics you described. The situation you referenced was a painful learning experience that we should have addressed more decisively. We've since strengthened our hiring process and are quicker to recognize when someone isn't the right fit. Your advice to "fire the bad apples faster" is spot on, and we're committed to protecting the culture that makes Equi special. Thank you for your contributions during your time here.

Pros

- I feel respected in my domain - Most (see cons) of my teammates are great people and strong in their domains - We get to move fast - When leadership respects you; you receive a lot of autonomy - I have a lot of autonomy

Cons

- We had some really toxic individuals on the team in 2023 and it got in the way of enjoying my work. They try to blame leadership for everything, but refuse to look in the mirror. - Changes in priorities make it difficult to know how to best prioritize my time

Thank you for this honest review and for your continued contributions to our team. We're glad you feel respected and have the autonomy to excel in your domain. You're absolutely right about the toxic individuals we had in 2023. We take full responsibility for not addressing those situations more quickly, and we've since made the necessary changes to protect our culture. Your feedback reinforces that keeping the right people and removing those who don't align with our values must remain a top priority. We appreciate your patience through that challenging period and your continued commitment to Equi.
