      Going downhill after corporate sellout

      Pros

      Hotjar, while it existed, highkey used to be the best company I worked at. It had a great culture, transparency, compensation, and benefits. All gone now.

      Cons

      Hotjar lost its soul after Contentsquare used its money to eliminate the competition artificially. Ever since the company was sold, everything has become measurably worse from an employee perspective. - Layoffs - All transparency is gone, replaced by cold corporate legalese and ambiguous communication - Former competent leadership left a long time ago or were laid off - Lower compensation - Reduced leave policy - Benefits deleted - High levels of bureaucracy and micromanagement

      Pros

      None. All the great stuff has been removed by Contentsquare at this point.

      Cons

      - Being part of a big corporate company - The great culture and transparency are gone - Treated as kids - They thank you for your flexibility, when they actually force you

      Old Hotjar is no more

      Pros

      used to have amazing perks, health care benefits, transparent company culture, high morale, worker-centered work place, remote

      Cons

      new leadership with the acquisition of Contentsquare and Heap is doing away with the once awesome culture, introducing rounds of layoffs and cutting benefits of Hotjar employees by 15k while pretending that it's not happening, cold, vapid culture, fixated on the bottom line with a money-first approach, giving people more responsibility with no pay increase, stalling merit-based pay increases, stifling the atmosphere of open dialogue
