Showpad Response
2yDear Showpad Employee,
Thank you for sharing your view. We are sorry to read that your experience at Showpad is not 100% positive.
Pay is always a delicate subject. At Shopwad, we have a clear compensation philosophy, including objective benchmarks, to ensure our pay structure is fair. That being said, I encourage you to talk to your HR BP to highlight your struggles.
It's disappointing to us that you feel the way we work appears strange.
All the features we ship align with our customer use cases and are prioritized using our product OKRs. We are shipping more highly impactful innovation, benefitting from more cross-team collaboration than we have done in the last few years. We do constrain the investment in each new feature to accelerate its feedback loop. This allows us to understand better which features to invest in versus which features to pause future investment, key to agility.
What we ask of engineering and the other teams involved in each feature is to slice it to fit the constraint or escalate where that's not possible, and we review other options. This does require experienced engineering leadership to make work.
Every product has technical debt, and we mindfully make choices on where we need to move fast and where we need to pause and improve, with our Run Healthy initiative."
Meanwhile, we want to thank you for being a committed employee.
