Best place to work! - Anonymous employee Frame.io Employee Review

Great company to work for.

None that come to mind

Product is decent and has reasonable market fit. No serious direct competitors yet and a generous Series C round will ensure growth and stability in the medium term. This could be a good place to move up quickly if you’re looking to find vacant senior opportunities due to a leadership vacuum.

They struggle to attract/retain good leadership. Senior leaders tread a fine line of pandering to the CEO (or else being forced out of the company) without losing the respect of all their reports. Multiple design, engineering and product directors/VPs have taken similar paths in and out of the company. The CEO micromanages the departments close to his heart (frontend engineering, design, product), and basically ignores the rest. Founders did not develop a positive culture early on, meaning the company culture is weak (and kind of weird); Scattered at best, problematic at worst. It is not a very diverse workplace, and there is no genuine intention of becoming more diverse. There was occasional lip service about “increasing diversity”, followed by no concrete action. Leadership, particularly the CEO, glorifies workaholicism. Work-life balance is not valued at the company. Very few people leave the company in good standing. The narrative around departures is tightly controlled by leadership, and issues/problems/mistakes are generally blamed on those who left. The lack of open communication and tightly controlled narratives mean gossip is the currency of the office. Take most of the reviews on this platform with a grain of salt - Frame.io likes to curate them as much as possible, by stacking their own deck as well as encouraging new employees to leave glowing reviews.
