Pros

You will never work with a better group of individuals. The people that Workhuman hires are second to none. The events and perks are amazing when we are able to experience them in person

Cons

It is very difficult to grow or get promoted no matter how many times you go above and beyond. The only way I have seen others get ahead is to threaten to leave the company. This might be because there are no formal reviews, which is something the company preaches against, however, many managers/leaders aren't looking at the holistic view of someone's accomplishments and capabilities to assess if they are ready to move up, it is only if the individual approaches and truly fights to get a promotion, and even then, it takes years. There are a lot of very good employees that I would classify as flight risks because of this, and I know many people who are actively interviewing

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
