Pros

Nice people, good work/life balance, remote-first, good mission

Cons

Most people are here less than a year, so no one knows what is going on. Tons of changes, shiny object syndrome takes us off course. No institutional memory, most people who know how to keep the lights on have left. Lots of money going to consultants/agencies du jour.

Hi Dear colleague, Thank you so much for sharing your opinion and feelings. We are glad to hear you enjoyed work/life balance and remote work and that our mission inspires you. Indeed, in the past couple of years the company performed well and therefore grew significantly in terms of the number of employees and we have a lot of new colleagues. This is an exciting phase for us all. Of course, it is important for us to keep the knowledge and experience we have but at the same time we are all working in a fast changing environment where while having experience , it is is critically important to experiment, test, learn and keep our eyes open on the best practices and it is important to learn from the industry, including external consulting. We can't decipher from your note, if you raised your concerns with your line manager. If not, we believe, it would be great to share your opinion with your direct manager or People team. We are constantly working to build and practice a culture where we meet each other at eye level and encourage everyone to speak up. We value when our employees are challenging the status quo. If for any reason, it does not feel right for you, we must pay attention to it. If it is not comfortable for you or you tried and did not feel heard, we invite you to speak to our People team and dive deeper into the reasons why you might have experienced that.

Amazing place to learn and grow

Pros

Jimdo is a place filled with talented, dedicated people who are myopically focused on achieving their mission of helping their customers be successful. If you're a person looking to learn new skills, take on additional responsibility, be challenged by complex projects and develop your career, this is THE place for you to be. Additionally, Jimdo is incredibly flexible and treats their employees like humans, values diversity, asks for employee's opinions, is super transparent and invests in their employee's development.

Cons

Jimdo is in a period of transition and change (almost all for the better). However, you have to know that, and want that. As examples, policies evolve, new people are hired, new products are always launched, tests occur constantly, etc. If you are looking for a place that will allow you to skate by without hard work, this is NOT the place for you.
