Pluspunten

Not the worst company in the world. Some of the benefits are ok.

Minpunten

If you're considering a career at Webflow, think twice. Despite their boastful claims of having a strong set of core behaviors, a positive culture, and being a great place to work, the reality is far from it. Many employees are suffering in silence, too afraid to speak up about the toxic environment they work in. Not only have I heard of multiple instances where people have had to take extended time off for their mental health due to mistreatment by their managers, but there are still those in leadership positions who ought to resign for their mistreatment of their direct reports. In fact, one already did, but that was a couple of years ago, and there are still a few more who need to follow suit. If you experience discrimination or prejudice, don't bother reporting it to HR, as they ignore these kinds of complaints. Advancement opportunities are scarce, and if you're a gender minority or disabled, good luck with that. Despite having women and people of color in leadership positions, this company still fails when it comes to inclusivity and fairness. Your valid concerns and complaints will likely be ignored. And you might just end up with a manager who regularly humiliates, degrades, or otherwise stresses you. I've heard countless horror stories from former colleagues, and I'm just grateful to have escaped. Don't be lured by the supposed benefits, either. The healthcare plan may be decent, but the reimbursement for health, wellness, and productivity, though nice in theory, is taxable and only adds up to about $6k a year. And there's no 401k matching. So, don't be fooled into thinking you have great benefits when you're actually being underpaid. Webflow wants to present itself as a responsible and progressive tech company, but in reality, it's anything but. Accepting a job offer from them is a risk, and I wouldn't advise it. I've seen it all, and I can assure you, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Pluspunten

- Seriously smart, kind coworkers - good culture even though remote, offsites and office if you want them - real ownership and trust at the IC level - C-suite and leaders are genuine and accessible - Proudly being remote-first seems to be rarer and rarer these days, no RTO anxiety - Time off, recharge days and sabbaticals are great

Minpunten

- No longer covering 100% of healthcare costs, which was a very nice benefit - Lots of new people means it's harder to get to know people outside your teams - Things change, fast. Buckle up.
