Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Hireology full-time for more than a year
Pros
- Unlimited paid time off that you’re actually encouraged to use - Nice coworkers, even though you’re remote the team feels close knit - Diverse engineering team
Cons
- Everything is top down which means you have very little control over process and often need to get someone’s rubber stamp of approval to do anything that isn’t a code change - Sales focused company culture, very little recognition/interaction between engineering and the rest of the company - Moving to scaled agile framework which feels like glorified waterfall

Thanks for your feedback and your years as a Hireologist! Our Engineering team is one that I am extremely proud of for all the reasons that you mentioned. Our engineers are critical to the success of our business, and their work takes center stage in 2021. We think moving to scaled agile is the right call, and acknowledge that there are many ways to approach building software. We believe it's the right move for the company. Good luck in your next endeavor! - Adam

In terms of your constructive feedback, I hope that many of these points were addressed during our Annual Kickoff last week. We have a strong, unified vision for the future of our company; if you're unclear or uncertain about what that vision may be, I encourage you to connect with your manager, review our V/TO, or put time on my calendar! Here's to your success. - Adam

Pros
Unlimited PTO Easy Commute WFH available Decent Pay
Cons
They have an almost cult like way of doing things. You have it drilled into your head their 5 core values, but they often don't act on them. You have a meeting weekly where the entire company gets together but you're never really explained as to what your told. I worked there for a few months for the typical 40 hours a week, I saw my manager in person maybe 30 min a week, and that was on a good week. There's not really a training available, you get shown a few things but after that you're left on your own and you're not really given feedback. Not diverse at all! If you don't fit into their cliché groupings you're not going to have a good time.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Hireology full-time for more than a year
Pros
Office location and free snacks (when the office is open)
Cons
The influx of recent positive reviews is because the people team individually asks people to fill out Glassdoor reviews at certain times, so people are apprehensive to post honest reviews because they think they are tracked (the date/times are a giveaway). I have been here for just over 2 years, and this place has drastically changed from a fun, successful and optimistic place of work, to a graveyard. The culture here has become very toxic. It is very ironic that one of our core values is another term for "Don't be a jerk" when the opposite is highly encouraged here, as they promote people who thrive off bullying people and mistreatment. There has been a mass exit over this past year (not including the big layoff we had), where just about every person who was critical to our success and growth (mostly tenured employees) quit, which isn't a great sign. The volatile environment was cultivated over time under the watch of an individual C-level executive who has lead the pack. I'm hoping things can be turned around, but I don't think a lot of us are holding out hope.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. It sounds like your experience here has been challenging of late, and I’m sorry that we’re missing your expectations. I do want to address the concerns you listed, and also provide some context for some of the “big picture” opinions you shared. First and foremost, there is zero tolerance for disrespectful behavior in our company. If you’re experiencing anything remotely close to bullying, I want you to talk to our People team, or to me directly. I take this very seriously, and can’t do anything to investigate what you’ve described unless we know more. If you’re not comfortable speaking to someone directly, we provide a confidential/anonymous online form that empowers you to speak up. Change is part of life, and it’s certainly part of working at a high-growth company like ours. We’ve done our very best to live our values and to maintain our high standards, and our People team has done heroic work on these fronts. Over the last 12 months, I’ve done what I thought needed to be done to keep our company and our culture on the right path. These changes aren’t for everyone, and I’m ok with that. Our recent engagement survey results tell me that the vast majority of our team feels we’re on track. We have never been in a better position to win than we are right now. Of course there are challenges to work through, but that goes with the territory. If you’re not happy here, I encourage you to explore options elsewhere. If your experience at Hireology has prepared you for the next step in your career, that’s great, because that’s how it’s supposed to work. 2020 has been a crazy year, and we’re all doing our very best to stay focused on the huge opportunity that lies in front of us. We are committed to making this company a great place to work, and I’d enjoy talking with you about your feedback directly if you’re open to a conversation. - Adam

Pros
Amazing PTO policy. Work hard, hit your metrics, be a team player and there’s never a real issue with taking PTO, within reason. Fun company overall.
Cons
Less growth has resulted in more communication issues between managers and employees because they’re stuck in limbo.

Thanks for posting a review. I'm glad you're taking full advantage of the PTO policy - now more than ever it's important to maintain balance and take care of yourself. One of the biggest things I miss about the "pre-covid" are the team and company events that would bring us all together in-person. We're doing our very best (thank you People Team!) to provide these opportunities in a fully remote way. It's not ideal, but it's the world we live in right now. I will push back on your statement that the "promotion cycle is coming to a halt." There continues to be exceptional opportunity here to grow professionally as the company grows. Spring and summer was challenging for all the reasons, but with a return to growth comes a return to new career growth opportunities for everyone. We've not stopped the promotion cycle, nor is it slowing. In fact, 16 Hireologists will receive promotions this cycle. In April, 19 Hireologists were promoted. That means nearly 20% of the company received a promotion this year, even with all that's been going on. -Adam

"Awesome Remote Onboarding Experience"
RecommendsApproves of CEOI have been working at Hireology full-time for less than a year
Pros
It's definitely not easy to onboard 100% remote, but my team and Hireology as a whole made the experience so incredible. The information was delivered in a digestible manner with plenty of opportunities for questions. I met a ton of people throughout onboarding which also made the experience great because I wasn't only talking to one person the entire time. I was told that I was their first remote onboard during COVID-19 and I think they did an amazing job of making me feel welcome and informed.
Cons
Truly nothing. It's all been great and I feel very ready for the role.
