Great Place to work
Feb 16, 2023 - Product Manager in San Francisco, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Very aware of work/life balance
Cons
Hard to think of the cons.

Pros
Used to be a very good company to work for before DEI and before it was acquired by Lumine
Cons
Missing ratios meant that good people was laid off, despite the promises that nothing would change after the merge. Middle and upper management are taking care of their subordinates. There is very little opportunity for career advancement, and forget about any training. I would say avoid if you can.
Continue readingThank you for sharing feedback about your recent experience with WideOrbit. WideOrbit commits resources to create a sense of belonging and provide equal opportunity for growth and development for all its employees. Merging with Lumine Group was a pivotal business decision that serves to strengthen and position WideOrbit for continued growth. We also decided to adjust our organization to better align our teams and achieve operational efficiencies. These activities have created change and we recognize that change can cause discomfort and uncertainty. We have not however, altered our commitment to nurturing a positive work environment in which all WideOrbiters have access to the resources they need to grow and succeed, including tailored career development programs and training initiatives offered by our Learning and Development function. Again, we appreciate you sharing feedback and are grateful to have this platform to address your concerns.

Pros
Several holidays throughout the year
Cons
- The initial indication that I should have taken as a warning sign to steer clear of this company was when I agreed to a certain salary for the position I was offered, only to have the recruiter return a few days later with a lower offer. Upon speaking with the CFO/CEO, the recruiter stated that my lack of experience warranted a lower salary than the one initially proposed. -The CEO exhibits a significant ego and expects immediate attention. If you make an error, he will publicly shame you and share the information with as many individuals as possible instead of addressing it privately. Although management may label this behavior as "direct," he is actually arrogant and condescending unless you hold an executive or upper-management position. I was even given instructions on how to speak to him as he becomes bothered by individuals who get flustered when communicating with him. -The management exerts persistent pressure on employees to meet unrealistic deadlines, which leads to working extended hours of 10-12 hour days and experiencing significant stress. - Lack of diversity -My department was undergoing a management restructuring process, and I was under the impression that there would be prospects for advancement and career development in my role. However, just two weeks later, I was unexpectedly laid off without any consequences.

Strong company adapting to new ownership
May 5, 2023 - Software DeveloperRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
People around you genuinely want you to succeed. Management is always approachable all the way to the top. Work hours are reasonable and you are allowed to work remotely.
Cons
There is some uncertainty with WO being now part of Lumine. Hitting ratios means that good people who are performing their jobs reasonably well are being let go. Some of the leaders that made WO successful are leaving the company or retiring.

Pros
Used to be a good company before takeover from Lumine Group
Cons
Many people were affected by layoffs, that is after the CEO promised nothing will change post merger, it looks like CEO doesn't have anything in his hand. He is a puppet now of Lumine Group. Avoid this company until it is part of Lumine Group. Applicable for Customers also, their product quality will also change now since they have reduced staff capacity.

Love the Innovation and Opportunities at WideOrbit
Sep 21, 2021 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
WideOrbit has been at the forefront of innovation and evaluating clients' needs. They are constantly assessing and providing ways to serve the clients better. WideOrbit has a plethora of great people who work hard and love what they do. WideOrbit invests in a Diversity and inclusion initiative because they understand the value of having a diverse workforce. The Diversity and Inclusion Committee will bring in guest speakers or have open discussions on various topics. The benefits and perks at WideOrbit are phenomenal; they are unlike any other company I have worked for before. WideOrbit offers remote work options and great health benefits. They even offer monthly wellness seminars! WideOrbit also offers competitive compensation, and the recruitment team is fantastic to work with.
Cons
There are many great new products and enhancing of existing products; it makes it a little challenging to keep up with all the new changes. Though it has vastly improved, some teams still work in a silo and it can appear to cause some duplicity of efforts.

Week #2, lots to learn but eager to jump in!
Apr 5, 2022 - Product Support SpecialistRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I started WideOrbit last week, so far my experience has been great. The team has been extremely helpful and easy to ask for assistance! Lots of video's to watch and material to read, but the more I get into the nitty gritty I'm confident it will all make more sense and I'm looking forward to my new venture. My experience was exceptional from the very 1st contact I had with the 1st recruiter, even as they made changes in their department there was never a disconnect with me, everyone (I personally dealt with 3 different TA partners) kept me in the loop with the status of my application/interview process.
Cons
No cons, yet, but I think I'd like to refer to them as 'areas for improvement' though. Just like us humans, we all have them no one is perfect 110% of the time.

Great company! Great Culture! Great benefits.
Feb 1, 2022 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I love the overall culture of the company as a whole. Great benefits as well. My team, is awesome to work with, when we do communicate about problems, its a very concerted team effort resolving issues.
Cons
My manager is often cold and abrasive. I suffer from anxiety issues. So any new change in life, like a new job, gives me some nerves. When I did in person training, I was trying to help with something, but was in a nervous state, when I guessed the wrong way to help, this manager literally waved me off, and dismissed me in front of some other colleagues. I was left feeling alienated and embarrassed by this. Since that time, I feel like I'm on eggshells around this manager.
