Sojern Reviews

Pros

Health benefits, work from home flexibility, casual dress, career advancement, open door policy, coworkers, free snacks, drinks, and alcohol

Cons

Lots of change but that's expected as we continue to rapidly grow, sometimes that can be hard for people though.

Pros

Excellent training, mentorships and 1:1 meeting with your manager, peer feedback

Cons

young workforce, not enough female executives

Pros

Worked directly with some amazing people and built some great relationships. Exciting industry (pre-COVID), fun culture.

Cons

Lack of training - had a week of various training meetings - not a lot of hands on training. While I appreciated the autonomy, some formal training would have been very helpful at the start. Follow the training check-ins to make sure you're on track. Communication - big disconnect between verticals, where the "larger" vertical seemed more important even when told other verticals were the future of the company. No indications of the COVID layoff, which blindsided everyone. It was unfortunate that the layoff news didn't come from the CEO. Managing styles varied and caused clash/confusion between direct managers and team members. It was always something we dealt with, but never addressed.

Pros

Flexibility, fast-paced environment, you can have an opinion and impact in the company.

Cons

As a fast-paced company, there are many things changing at the same time so you are dealing sometimes with a lot of information from different departments, the company needs more structure.

Pros

Great work life balance-everyone understands that you have a life outside of the office and is extremely accommodating. You are respected and given lots of autonomy if you earn it.

Cons

High goals sometimes leads to a short term focus on hitting goals and not on long term growth and sustainability.
