Pros

- Opportunities to work on interesting projects if you're on the right team

Cons

- Salary review process lacks transparency, decisions are often unexplained, and there's no clear link between performance and compensation. Very demotivating when effort and outcomes don't align with career or salary growth - Promotions and recognition tend to go to those who are more visible to CTO and favoritism rather than on actual performance or contributions - Communication from management is pretty poor overall, things are often vague, and feedback is inconsistent. Way too often the explanation for decisions is just - it was the CTO’s decision - no reasoning, no discussion, just a dead end

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are pleased to hear that the passion our designers have for their craft is evident in their work. We recognise the importance of balancing business goals with the user-centric experience that defines our mission. We also want to take this opportunity to address your concerns about representation. While our company was founded by men, Flo is majority female in it's total headcount, majority female in its management population, majority female in direct reports to the CEO, and at gender parity at the Board of Directors. We remain committed to ensuring that women’s voices continue to define the future of our product and our company. We appreciate the time you spent with us and wish you the very best in your future career.
