- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great place to work and their Manager Team is very responsible.
Cons
Unless you are in a senior role, your voice is not heard
First of all thanks so much for taking the time to provide your perspectives, I know people appreciate it. Great to hear that overall you had a positive experience and recommend Greenhouse. Especially gratifying that you think GH is a great place to work and you had positive things to say about the managers here. I agree they're a strong group! And, thank you for your constructive feedback as well. We are growing super fast and with that growth, it can be a real challenge to make sure everyone's voice is heard. I'm sure that didn't feel great to be giving it your all and yet not fully feel like your views were landing. Whether it's our AMA's, survey's, small group meetings, or other channels, we are constantly looking for ways to improve communication and help every voice to be heard. We will keep at it!

Great people, great benefits, and they really make you feel included and part of the team.

Thanks for your feedback. I know people appreciate hearing from insiders, and while of course I'm disappointed that it seems we've come up short of some of your expectations I'm glad you recommend Greenhouse overall. As well, I would appreciate learning more about how I could have earned your approval. Please feel free to drop me a note directly, I'd be pleased to chat further in the interest of learning & continual improvement. As you mention, we are fast-growing and invariably that means there are always things we could be doing better. In any event - thanks for the recommendation.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Good culture, flexibility to make sure employees have a good work/life balance, good vision, and mission
Cons
Risk aversion. Greenhouse can be slow to move in new directions including how the business operates as we scale.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Greenhouse is a company with a great product and an amazing social impact. The executive team truly cares about its employees and thinks deeply on DEI related issues internally and in regards to the product. Everyone is kind and collaborative, and I feel really jazzed to work with my colleagues. I'm really happy to be here.
Cons
I don't see any cons about working at Greenhouse! I love it here.

Good company culture, and trips to New York
Cons
Support work, is tough, and not the best pay
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Hypocritical Culture: Talk a big game, but they don't walk the walk
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- learned a lot - was successful - good product
Cons
Overall, I was very disappointed by Greenhouse. While I learned a lot for my career, I also learned that they make decisions that benefit leadership and don't look out for their employees. If you want to work for a company that is honest, dependable, principled, or accountable, do not work here. CONS: - poor leadership decisions. - poor sales team culture, not inclusive (despite advertising themselves as a DE&I leading company - in fact, there are many complaints internally about having a non-equitable culture). the sales team is much like a 'boys club' and very immature, even catty. - good performance is not rewarded, often promoting people who have missed quota many months or quarters in a row. - they talk about caring for employee happiness and good culture, but they don't follow through on promises. promotions are promised, then taken away. raises and bonuses promised and then not given. commission earned and not paid.

Ugh, so sorry to hear you had such a negative experience here. We truly strive for excellence in how we manage and treat people. We can't be perfect so I'm sure there are times when someone doesn't feel the organization lives up to our aspirations; nonetheless it's disappointing to hear about it and I'm sorry. Having said that, I view feedback as a gift and appreciate that you cared enough to take the time to provide it. In the spirit of trying to learn as much as I can, I went and researched our sales promotion numbers. From what I can see, I am not able to match your comment around promoting poor performers to the data I was reviewing. Our SDR org for example, is probably one of the more metrics-driven orgs -- in order to be eligible for a promotion, there are strict quota achievement requirements (including >90% attainment in trailing 3 months in the role). Of the AE's we've promoted over the past 2 years, only 1 had attainment less than 100% (and it was 92%) in the 3 mos prior to promotion. Etc, etc. So, I'll continue to keep an eye out for these dynamics but so far have not been able to find much evidence for them. Meanwhile I wish you the best and hope that future teams provide you with satisfaction and the ability to fulfill your potential.

Ugh what terrible timing. The period in spring of 2020 was scary and sad in so many ways; I can't imagine the mix of feelings that starting a new job amidst all of that must have created. So sorry to hear it.
