Pros

Excellent product and customer support function Good health and dental benefits Generous work trips/events/gifts Remote work

Cons

Being happy and cheery on the surface isn't enough...there is a volcano of rage that is dormant in many team members, where honesty is rarely encouraged unless it's from the top, where opinions actually count. Hierarchy is huge here: Overall, the consensus driven decision making forced from the very top doesn't allow experts to do the work that they are specialized in---things take way too long to get done- even when change for the better is needed. You will be thrown under the bus if you use your own brain to make even the slightest decision that would be encouraged in any other org. Everything needs to be approved by the manager who reads your emails daily and picks them apart with a fine-tooth comb. I wish I were kidding.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences while you were at Jane. I’m really sorry to hear about the difficulties you faced during your time with us. I’ve reread this feedback a few times now and I can honestly say it is tough feedback to read.

Striving to ‘be better’ and continuously improve are part of our values and I will use this feedback as part of this development journey. Sandy - Chief People Officer On Behalf of Jane

Pros

Jane is without a doubt, the best company I’ve ever worked for. The team is incredibly supportive, fostering a collaborative and positive environment where everyone is eager to help each other. Our leadership places a strong emphasis on work-life balance, offering flexibility that makes it easy to manage both professional and personal commitments. There are ample opportunities for growth and development, and the leadership team is approachable, transparent, and genuinely cares about the well-being and progression of employees.

Cons

While Jane is doing an amazing job managing growth, there are occasional growing pains as the company scales. Sometimes, adjustments to processes and structures take a little time to settle in, but with the strong team support, it’s entirely manageable.
