Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at eharmony full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Good benefits, pay, and morale. Sense of purpose in work, positive atmosphere, friendly place to work.
Cons
Engineers and Tech departments seemed to get preferential treatment, policies were not customer friendly, focus on dollars and not customer experience, lots of internal promotions instead of bringing outside expertise. Was led to believe certain business projects were successful, only to find out they were not.
Advice to Management
Find new ways to make matches. Transparency.

Pros
Killer location, lots of free food, unlimited pto and great benefits. These have gotten better since I started working there too.
Cons
I know the product really well. It's not very good. The tech is really outdated and any innovative ideas are immediately shot down. Middle and upper management are lazy and don't have the mindset or skills to work for an internet company. The culture is still really Christian and conservative which is all wrong for California.
Advice to Management
Stop blaming a decade of failure on everyone but yourself. Stop micromanaging the product and let people who know their stuff make it relevant for 2018. Take some risks.

Pros
Eharmony has good benefits and payscale is competitive
Cons
Low morale due to lot of recent layoffs. Slow pace work.
Advice to Management
Your employees are a valuable asset to company and you should treat them like one. Do not treat your employees for short term hire and fire.

Pros
Awesome coworkers who share a vision and love working there when properly supported.
HR is supportive (for the most part) and easy to talk to. Work is well compensated and benefits are great.
Catered lunches and yummy snacks/drinks.
Unlimited vacation.Cons
Management is not very communicative.
Widespread and unexpected layoffs.
Location is loud (single-pane windows, which means you can hear ALL the traffic and commotion on the street... from the top of the building). Lots of traffic and people pretty much the whole time.
Difficult to move up, unless you're in the right department or know the right managers. (this is my impression and my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt).Advice to Management
Be honest with them with the company is doing well and when it is not doing well.
Be more willing to take risks and support projects. Of the many hackathons that the company hosted, I honestly can't remember any of the great projects EVER being implemented (I might be wrong since the company hardly held employee meetings by the time I left). There were talks of work starting on hackathon projects, but we never really heard anything beyond that.eharmony 2018-07-15 20:01 PDTHelpful (5)

Pros
Working in the dating industry is fun - and being able to create happy couples is the ultimate reward for the work that we do.
The company has been around since the turn of the century (2000) so is quite old in internet years, but is constantly developing new products in order to compete.
eharmony is located at a great location right next to UCLA with plenty of gyms, restaurants, shopping etc nearby.
Company culture is pretty relaxed as long as you get your work done. There have been layoffs over the past year but was a long overdue necessity - you can't stay fat when competitors are nipping at your heels.
Benefits include unlimited vacation (as long as you can find the time...), free breakfast and lunch multiple times per week, and an office with lots of space.Cons
Over the years eharmony has grown to become one of the major dating companies in the US, but has lately (like most other dating sites) been impacted by the rise of the mobile dating apps, which has again lead to some cost cutting and subsequent layoffs.
The management layer has been rather slim over the past year with multiple open positions (that are in the process of being filled) and a sense of being in fire-fighting mode.Advice to Management
Company is moving in the right direction and is definitely much better off today than a year ago. Stay focused!
