Collapsing inwards - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Signal

- The product doesn't work! - Poor benefits in relation to other tech businesses. - Lack of compensation growth once you join. Signal is not unique in this respect, but there was no growth or performance process, with awards made behind closed doors - Underperforming but highly compensated sales team. The market is tough, but multiple sales personnel have been promoted again and again without delivering any sales...perhaps there is another metric for success. - A strong and good culture when I started in 2015 has been eroded by new execs and the loss of the original HR and culture leader. - Some elements of development are difficult to work with, and fail to take responsibility for poorly implemented products. (some are very good though!) - Slow to manoeuvre, if at all. - High turnover. People leave or get fired often. You usually find out if someone got fired via gossip rather than any official announcement. Firings are often swept under the carpet. - Restructuring happens often, usually to promote somebody in sales and find them some people to manage. - An unstable product that fails more often than it works, with slow resolution times and partners often blamed for Signal's own failings. - The few clients who have been acquired are often on lofty promises that client delivery teams cannot do. - Compliance with local laws is...questionable. - How many VPs does it take to change a lightbulb?
