Pros

Workhuman lives it's mission both internally and externally to bring humanity into the workplace. This is what drew me to want to work for the company. A job where you get to sell peer driven recognition to large companies?? Sign me up. I was hired during covid and have not yet met any colleagues in person, yet I received the warmest welcome and onboarding experience. I feel more connected to my fellow co-workers than at any previous company and that is because Workhuman goes out of their way to practice what they preach. There is no shortage of surprises that show up in the mail from our customer experience team for various events and sometimes just for fun (HH's, pizza making, art classes, etc). My sales team is incredible and the managers and VP's are hands on without being "in the way". It's a very strategic, team centric approach. I can honestly say I love my job!

Cons

The benefits are a bit expensive and lacking. I'd like to see a 401K match in the near future and quite honestly was almost a deal breaker. Salary could be more competitive.

Pros

Genuine human connection and collaboration. Great benefits. Autonomy and ability to share ideas that may create real change, at any level. Access to great AI tools and plenty of encouragement to experiment and learn.

Cons

At the end of the day, we are a business. We sell software. Sometimes in order to do that, we have to pivot direction fast or create deadlines that feel rushed. We aren't perfect - but you'd be hard pressed to find a company filled with better people who actually care about the work, the company mission, and about each other.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
