Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at SmartRecruiters full-time
Pros
Onboarding has gotten better and better for new hires, fun team events and the product is very promising
Cons
The CEO has created a toxic culture where if you speak up, be prepared to get canned out of nowhere. He may let it go the first time if you're a top performer, but he'll keep an eye on you. Don't rely on People Ops to have your back either - they are powerless. Employee turnover is above average.
Advice to Management
Be transparent with your teams and address problems instead of silencing the people who bring them up.

Pros
1. The Product - has been recognized as a leader in strategy and innovation, generating alot of buzz from industry analysts and publications.
2. Leadership team - comes from backgrounds in SaaS and/or Recruiting
3. Professional Development - my business leaders have put the team in a great position to be successful, from a perspective of tools/processes and coaching.
4. Vision - you work for a company that has a purpose. Change the world of recruiting to connect people to jobs.Cons
1. The Human Resources industry is slower to adopt new technology, making sales processes a bit complex and prolonged.
2. Still building out the People function and career tracks.Advice to Management
Keep focusing on the topic of Hiring Success because more and more HR leaders are understanding the value of Talent Acquisition within their orgs. Also, it could be valuable for all new hires within the Revenue org to have a basic understanding of how the product works.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at SmartRecruiters full-time (More than a year)
Pros
SmartRecruiters, more than any other company I've worked for truly cares about their employees well being. They're incredibly supportive of personal growth, enable their members to be successful in their role and allow everyone to be themselves. SmartRecruiters believes that everyone is the CEO of their work and promotes autonomy within their role.
Cons
I wouldn't call this a con, but more so a word to those that aren't familiar with start-up environments: The pace and rate of change and growth at SmartRecruiters has been astonishing and with that comes a lot of change in process and procedures. It can be difficult to keep up at times as things can change any given day.
Advice to Management
Keep the communication lines open and periodically check in on your team if you notice they've been working really hard. It's nice to get recognition even if it is on a random Tuesday afternoon ;)

Compensation/benefits could be slightly better. As a lean startup, still trying to work through processes and operational kinks; but overall, not many cons.
Advice to Management
We're on the right track. Continue to invest in your people, lead with transparency and push us towards our vision.
