Talented people. Good atmosphere. Burning VC money, lack of empathy and a lot of chaos.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Lot of opportunity to grow. Hard and rewarding problems to solve. Your work is recognized and appreciated. There were good benefits. I got two raises without asking for it during my time
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
They have a 360-degree feedback system, but it is often worthless. I struggled to get actionable feedback despite putting in a lot of effort to give and get actionable feedback. Most of the feedback I received were hollow and blanket statements.
I don’t know the current situation, but until 2024 they were burning through investor money and were under pressure to show good numbers to existing and potential new investors. As a result, several rounds of layoffs happened, and they were handled very poorly, with poor communication and zero empathy.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Please handle layoffs with more empathy. When people are being let go, especially for reasons like meeting VC expectations, it’s important to allow them the dignity of a proper farewell. Revoking all access, including Slack, in the middle of the termination call feels unnecessarily harsh and inhumane. A better approach might be to grant an additional hour of Slack access so they can hand over work and say goodbye to their colleagues they’ve worked with for so long.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
One of the best things about my time at Hive is the work atmosphere. The average age in the company is low and the energy levels are supar high.
Kommunikation
Communication is generally good. But there is little to no transparancy for certain matters for a company that boasts about transparancy
