Pros

The people Working for a mission based company The customers

Cons

Comically bad HR processes for an HR tech company - promo and merit cycles are painful, if they happen at all. You never know because... Internal comms all but disappeared in 2025 so no one really knows what's going on. Horribly mismanaged layoffs. They did layoffs in 2023 and treated people with respect. Both those who were let go and those who stayed. Recent layoffs in 2025 were a mess. Employees still there have no work because they're sitting waiting for a reorg 3 weeks later. People crying at their desks.

Thank you for your candid feedback. It’s clear you cared deeply about the people, the mission, and our customers—and we’re truly sorry your experience didn’t reflect the values we aim to live every day. Moments like promotions, communication, and organizational change have a significant impact on trust and belonging. When we fall short, especially during times of transition, it hurts—and we recognize that. We’re working to learn from those moments, including how we support people through change and communicate with greater transparency and consistency. We appreciate your contributions during your time here, and we sincerely wish you the best ahead.

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.
