      Pros

      CEO is genuinely a likeable character, and there are great individuals within the company.

      Cons

      This list just grew over time unfortunately. Exec team is a boys club, toxic management, unhealthy boundaries and lack of work life balance, a very anxious environment, everyone's constantly on edge feeling like they will be laid off at any minute. There are genuinely some senior members of staff who should have been fired for multiple misconducts a long time ago but somehow are still there; perpetuating toxic behaviour and generally being bullies. (Misogynistic bullies at that) Had the potential to be great but the constant changing of tactics feels like throwing mud at the wall to see what will stick. If you join in a management position (actually any position) you have to be a yes man/woman or you'll be gone very quickly. So much more to say but hard to summarise. It's only since leaving and gaining perspective that I (and others) have realised how bad it was.

      Pros

      The people are great, I get along with all my coworkers, and with a small team in the US, I feel that they have my back if i need support or help with anything. Training their employees to do a better job - investing in people. Great product, hackajob intelligence is amazing. Consistent and open communication with managers. They have invested into tools to help employees succeed. Expectations are clearly communicated.

      Cons

      Don't mind it personally, but for some people constant change can be a negative, and the company has startup energy. Wearing many hats and trying out new things all the time, less structure and more exploration, figure it out as we go.

      Hi there I appreciate you taking the time to share this review. Your comments about the support within the US Team are awesome to read and we agree! I bet it was also great to be with the whole team at the recent RecFest (US) where hackajob intelligence was launched to the US market! Communication between managers/leaders and our people is something we've worked hard to improve so it's encouraging to hear that you feel it's open and expectations are clear. That, plus investing in learning and development for everyone really helps all of us deliver. We often hear feedback that ongoing change can create a working environment that's more challenging for some. This is an ongoing area of improvement for us, and we continue to try to find that balance between experimentation/newness and structure/consistency to find a better blend for everyone, but without losing the startup energy that has got us this far. If you have any suggestions on how we can continue to improve any aspect of working here, please reach out to me directly on Slack or via our People Office Hours. Thanks, Amy, VP People

      Pros

      I joined hackajob about 6 months ago as part of the growing US team. I felt very supported by my manager and the entire team throughout my onboarding. The US team is very collaborative and it's been a great experience to partner with and learn from everyone on the team. In the past 6 months, I have had many opportunities for growth and a clear career progression plan, which I appreciate. Wins are celebrated by the team and everyone truly works together to solve challenges that come up. I have had 3 sales roles prior to working at hackajob, and I have been nothing but happy with the support, opportunities for growth, and rewarding environment here.

      Cons

      As in any startup environment, things change quickly. Not necessarily a con, but it requires being open-minded and flexible.

      Hi there Thank you for leaving such positive feedback about your experience at hackajob so far. It is wonderful to read that the supportive approach has been so impactful for you. One of our main Operating Principles is to ‘hire exceptional people and empower them to do the best work of their careers’ and it is fantastic to hear that this is ringing true. You clearly understand that as a startup we do need to shift focus at times. Being open to this is absolutely key to success and we try to embrace change as much as possible at hackajob, with a positive attitude. If there is ever anything further you want to discuss please feel free to Slack or email anyone from the People Team or come along to our recently launched People Team Office Hours for an informal chat. Thanks, Amy, Director of People
