Fuze Reviews

Pros

Strong leadership willing to make the tough decisions to help get the company to the next level. The product is solid and better than the competition in overall user experience. The team that I am a part of is strong and high performing and great people to work with.

Cons

In the past, we have not moved fast enough on some key business decisions. Though it looks as if that is improving moving forward.

Pros

Work life balance Central location Flexible WFH culture

Cons

Terrible product culture: Projects never align, no industry standard processes. Things like licensing the best softwares to do work was ignored and resorted to hacking around for free accounts. The meetings platform has not changed for years, both from an UX perspective and engineering perspective (internal all hands meeting went down twice in a row, due to serious back-end issues). Colin Doherty almost never meet product team. Brian Day is also clueless about technology. Top down culture of nepotism, anti-merits structure. Employees lack basic things like career ladder, no career planning, no training. Managers are clueless when it comes to mentoring employees and hiring top talents. I have been through many interviews with candidates that should have been eliminated from the resume round. Some managers don’t have solid expertise, which surprised me how they got in. Absolutely do not care about employees. I have been through 2 rounds of layoffs and both were done very poorly. The first one was done in “silent mode” where employees were let go in an undignified manner. HR quietly let people go which led to the rest of the company cluelessly scrambling to find out who was fired. The second round was done without any warning. Many employees got fired right before end of the year bonus and holiday season. I heard there is also a history of reckless and corrupted spending from the upper management. No wonder why Fuze burnt half a billion in funding in no time and had to run massive layoffs.

Pros

Work-life balance can be great here, although off-hours work is often expected.

Cons

Laid off one quarter of the workforce in a very cold, informal fashion just two weeks before Christmas with ZERO notice.

Pros

Great work from anywhere policy I had a great relationship with my team Good perks

Cons

The executives don’t care about employees Not a great product compared to the competition Not a place for career growth, you’ll be used for a while and cycled out eventually when they just decide to change focus to gain a competitive edge that they will never attain.
