Pros

My journey to and at Workhuman has been one of the most fulfilling highlights of my life. From 2002 to 2020 when Covid hit, I was a Monday thru Friday 8-5pm worker. It was the standard and the way. Covid made me evolve into a remote worker and people leader. I made the most of it while at a Top HR Tech leader and then building a new team at a Tech start up. But as I learned fully remote was just going to be the new way where I was with no office on the horizon, I couldn’t do it any longer. I needed that Monday thru Friday and 9-5 back for my mental health. I found Workhuman thru a connection and just fell in love with the people, the platform, the potential future and impact I could make and of course the gorgeous office. I remember on my in-person interview – our awesome recruiter gave me a tour and my constant compliments made her happy but she also said there’s a new office in the works for 6 months out that will be even better. SIGN ME UP! Every day I get to drive into the best office I’ve ever stepped foot in with over-the-top frills from the perfect café, to the gym, to the open concept workspaces where I can do my best work and collaborate with my team…and double tapping into that…working with the kindest and smartest people. I’m partial to my team being the best but the cross collaboration with other departments is wonderful as is just the organic socialness around the office. The leadership is top notch. I’m a manager level employee and I’ve had personal and professional conversations with VP and Chief level execs here. They ask about my life – they ask about business opinions. I feel truly seen and supported. If you’re on here looking to join us – you should. If you’re here as a prospect client to potentially partner with us so you can do Recognition RIGHT for your people – DO IT! It’s the best platform, the best company and the best people. I love this place. It’s my Disney World of workplaces.

Pros

The company offers strong compensation and good employee perks, and there are many talented and hardworking people across the organisation. However, the leadership culture creates significant operational and people-related challenges.

Cons

Decision-making is highly top-down, with major organisational and team decisions often made without involving the managers or teams who have direct operational knowledge or understanding of day-to-day realities. This frequently leads to unnecessary disruption, shifting priorities and reduced trust within teams. There also appears to be a lack of mature leadership capability at senior levels. Some directors seem insufficiently experienced for the complexity of the organisation, while strategic direction is heavily centralised around the CEO. Senior leaders tend to align with decisions rather than constructively challenge them, which can limit healthy debate and balanced decision-making. Engineering teams are generally well compensated, but workloads can be excessive and sustained pressure appears to be normalised. Burnout and stress-related absence are common, and while wellbeing is discussed, the operational culture does not consistently support sustainable working practices in reality. The company may suit people who thrive in fast-moving, high-pressure environments and are primarily motivated by compensation and benefits. However, for those seeking psychologically safe leadership, operational maturity, collaborative decision-making and sustainable pace, it may not be the best long-term fit.
