unorganized. positions open and close constantly with no fruition. there's a shifting vision constantly. waste of time and resources in departments with unmotivated people that want to do the basics and never improve.

Thank you for your advice and your observations. You’re right that we’ve been tactical with our growth strategy and I can see how it seemed unorganized. We have a very clear vision and social mission: to create healthier organizations, which we do through fantastic product and expert content, and we have a strong team that is aligned and incented on a clear course. I hope you’ve noticed the difference! Janine

Good people, bad leadership

Pros

- 4 day work week. Good work-life balanced if you enforce it yourself - Remote first - Most of the people are nice and friendly and genuinely want to make a positive impact

Cons

- low pay and lackluster benefits: there is no 401k match, they cover part of health insurance premium, but less than other places. equity options are not even worth considering - Not a place you can advance your career. - CEO is actively tanking her own business and is taking everyone down with her. At the end of 2022, she tried to sell the business and failed due to Emtrain’s low revenue and high head count. Since then, she fired most of her senior leadership team and re-took control of running the business, and has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs. She has little knowledge of her own business operations and has provided no real plan on how to right the ship, which results in an overall lack of direction and state of confusion across the board. She also has a huge ego and takes no accountability for her actions or the state of the business. In general, kind of the opposite of the company values.

I'm sorry you were impacted by the layoffs in 2023 as we right-sized our expenses to be more in line with our revenue. I'm glad to report that our audited financials now show a financially healthy business.
