Pluspunten

UserTesting is awesome because they make a great product and the c-level executives are brilliant. The company culture is fun and relaxed. For most roles you can set your own hours, have a lot of authority over your projects, and there are adorable dogs!

Minpunten

There is a huge disconnect between the brilliant people and ideas in the c-level suite and the reality of the day to day, largely because no one is communicating effectively (and this disconnect only gets broadened because of a few bad apples in upper management). There is terrible communication between departments and (depending on your department) terrible communication within your department. No one is on the same page about what direction we are headed (or how we are going to get there), which results in a lot business politics because you have to cater to everyone's agendas. Additionally, the company theoretically makes up for their subpar salaries with learning and growth opportunities, but the emphasis is so on the bottom line that no one has time to learn or grow. What's worse is that they don't reward anyone for actually living up to their absurd standards and timelines. Everyone burns out in 6 months to a year. All of which makes working here exhausting because we've created a situation in which it is impossible to improve ourselves or the company.

Pluspunten

The people here are genuinely the best part. From day one, you're surrounded by smart, collaborative teammates who want to see each other succeed. Leadership is accessible and clearly invested in the company's direction. You never feel like you're working in the dark. Work-life balance is real, not just something they say in the interview. The remote flexibility is a huge plus and they actually trust you to get your work done. The mission itself is compelling, helping companies build better products through human insight is work you can feel good about.

Minpunten

Like any company in a growth phase, there's some change fatigue, things shift and you have to be adaptable. Cross-team communication can be inconsistent; sometimes you find out about things later than you'd like. Processes are still maturing in some areas, which can be frustrating if you thrive on structure. That said, these feel like the right problems to have for a company moving this fast.
