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.

Working Human Doesn't Exist

Pros

The people that work here a genuinely good people. Many, care about other people beyond the work place. Free food that masks the lack of annual raises and promotions. New office space is nice but is open concept.

Cons

Favoritism runs deep. Certain people barely show up for work while others are basically driving the business alone. The social recognition platform is also perpetuated by favoritism. The loudest person in the room gets the award, not the hardest worker. Globoforce thinks it's a big fish in a big pond when it's a tiny fish in a puddle. Hypocrisy and sexism is rampant. There are 0 women in the C-suite. Limited promotions going to women and very few minorities in the company. Managers are not equipped, trained, or experienced enough to be managers. People are not willing to work collaboratively, many are trained to not share information with others. Some managers manage a large amount of staff remotely; they don't see the big picture of what exactly is going on in the office. The company constantly is reactive instead of proactive - upper management and executive leaders never say no to any prospective customer or active client at the expense of everyone else in the organization.

Most Awful, Toxic Place I've Ever Worked

Pros

There are some good people at this company- fun, talented, decent people that are good co-workers There is flexibility with hours/time off

Cons

This is a toxic place. There are a group of people in leadership who insist on making this little software company a place full of drama and politics and backbiting. This group has been consistently promoted. The CEO has admitted to setting goals that he knows are not stretch goals, but completely impossible to reach, because he thinks people will not work as hard if they don't have impossible targets. As a result, someone is always being berated for failing against goals that are completely absurd. It is well known that bringing up new ideas or suggesting that anyone in leadership might want to look at something in a different way is a recipe to be completely ostracized, if not ousted. The worst thing about the company is all the "make work more human" stuff they spout, because it is a marketing ploy. This is not a place where people are treated with respect and given paths to grow.

I take your feedback very seriously and ask that you contact me directly to discuss your concerns. What you are describing is not the company I know. The company I know prides itself on respect and treating one another fairly. Our employees consistently report that our culture is extremely positive and unlike any other they have worked in. If you are seeing something I am not, I encourage you to talk with me or a member of the HR team. Without open dialogue we cannot address your concerns. Talking with a member of HR can be done in complete trust, without fear of retaliation, as that is not tolerated. Building a great culture takes constant work, perseverance, and a level of vulnerability. This starts with living our values and supporting one another with behavior that is respectful and unifying. I sincerely hope that you will accept this invitation to meet with me. - Steve Pemberton
