HackerRank reviews about "ceo"

Worst work life balance, no much bonus, company is in loss, CEO keeps shifting the roadmaps, everyone is frustrated , perks have been reduced.

It's a start up and has the associated traits - it's not perfect. As they continue to disrupt the technical hiring market, inevitably there is going to be change and growing pains. However, this contributes to the excitement of working for the company, as they grow you have to opportunity to make a tangible impact and see it in action.

While we’ve done a good job at putting the best people in the best positions to be successful. I think an area we can improve on is stability. There has been many changes in the org which may cause uncertainty with the rest of the company.

- With half the team across the globe/in a different time zone, it can be difficult for internal communication. This can be improved among all teams. Sometimes it's unclear when certain product features will be released, which can be frustrating. - Although a market leader, there are a lot of competitors biting at our ankles. We need to be faster to innovate and more receptive to customer feedback else they will catch up.

I joined this organization in 2021 when it was at its peak. We had a diverse workforce, great management, opportunities for self improvement and development - however, that environment no longer exists at Hackerrank. Changes in leadership has caused a toxic work environment that doesn’t allow for transparency amongst collaborating teams, there is absolutely no room for growth or personal development… promotions are nonexistent. This place has gone downhill, a once a thriving, diverse work place is now ran by horrible. CEO doesn’t know how to run a business, or speak to employees let alone the customer. If you join this organization, be ready to have slack messages, coming from the CEO, to individual contributor, pass business hours, I’m talking about 10 PM at night asking you remedial questions. Not to mention, the CEO is running everything across the company, customer, communications, product, sales, etc. The product roadmap is never accurate, as an employee you never know when new product is launching. You’re constantly told to push new product features that either are never fully developed or broken upon release. This is such a frustrating place to work avoid by all means.

RTO has cost the company a large amount of important and long standing employees, with no ability to replace them. US teams have been without EMs for 6 months - 1+ years, and are losing Product Managers as well.

Low Salary. The company is for just 4 (V H A S) Everyone Leaving left and right, the whole executive team is watching the exit gate and curious about who will be next. Founders are not running properly, technically CPO runs the company and the CEO takes orders from him.

Company Goals - No overall plan or focus to propel a tech hiring company that is struggling, given the current hiring environment, to the next level. Zero progression on new products being added to the portfolio. Pricing structures change quite frequently and is still priced quite high for the industry making competitive sales quite difficult without discounting to meet customer budgets and needs. Competition is catching up/evening things out with a market that's becoming quite saturated with no real response from HackerRank to differentiate itself. Company goals change quite literally every month or quarter making it hard to prioritize what to focus on. Personal goals are virtually inexistent. Company moral and cultural is dying. Leadership - CEO and Senior Management has vision and passion, but it feels like there was no real contingency plan for potential hardships that the company may face after the well dries up. Leadership moves too fast without properly considering all angles before mandating change. Senior Leadership is out of touch with current employee job challenges and struggles. They tend to mandate change very fast without thinking things all the way through or with proper resources available to employees that have to see it out. Training - There has been no training for new roles that were mandated recently along with zero continuous training for employees throughout the past (outside of SKO type sessions that happen once a year) which are more high level and not actual training for the job that you are responsible for. Promotions/Raises - HAHA This used to be a huge benefit with annual increases, bonuses and accelerators, now quotas have been unattainable for over a year or two and they pile on multiple people's workloads onto one person without compensation. This is followed with them telling you that if you hit your numbers "it's like getting the raise that you were looking for". Avoid working here and the false promises that upper management makes.
