The blind leading the blind - these guys haven't got a Klue.
|
|
Some of Crayon's executive leadership team are incredibly bright, but access to them is limited to the occasional chat in the office or a training program they put together. That's where the good ends.
|
After spending a year working for Crayon, it is clear why they did not make Jeffrey Bussgang's rocketship list, but the competition, Klue, did. Crayon consistently misses sales targets, has high employee turnover, and fails to make decisions based on sound reasoning and data. Crayon's overall strategy is heavily based on what its competition is doing and tends to be reactive rather than proactive. This causes management to make poor, knee-jerk decisions that are not well thought out, and the downstream effects are not considered. Ultimately, the weight of these bad decisions falls on the shoulders of its mid & lower-level employees, who are forced to scramble to meet their objectives.
Crayon does not promote or hire based on merit, data, and performance; instead, their culture is to hire and promote based on cliques, vibes, and popularity, leading to an eco chamber of like-minded individuals who are there to climb the corporate ladder, not better the organization. These individuals lie, cheat, and steal their way to success, often standing on their employees' shoulders while they call themselves tall.
There is a reason the average tenure here has plummeted, and they only have two open positions. Their competition, Klue on the other hand, has 30 open positions and is growing. In a market where startups are fighting for funding, I'd be shocked to see Crayon around for much longer.

Decent Company Much to Improve On
|
|
-Decent Remote Working Environment
-Company Culture was very Kumbaya
-Tons of Meetings and Seminars to keep employees informed and engaged
-Tons of free swag (cups, mousepads, t shirts, gifts)
|
-Promotions in upper management lacked diversity and inclusion and were based on cliques not necessarily skill
-Crayon gained traction off social currency and influx of desperate workers during Pandemic which stifled the trajectory of the company
-Founders sold too much of their shares to investors which forced layoffs and lack of control for employees to gain true ownership

When you see qualified competitive intelligence employees leaving in droves due to being paid under market rates. Fix it. Promote those that put in the work and can prove leadership not boot lickers. The median tenure at Crayon is 2.8 years while to fully vest your shares takes 4 years. Well treated employees stay and mistreated ones leave.

Great place to work
|
|
Working at Crayon means working in a company that cares about the employees well-being. Management is very supportive and it is a great culture. Of course there are individuals here and there that does not align to the promoted culture, and there are growing pains in most parts of the organisation, but the customer relationships are strong, colleagues work for each other, but overall lovely place to work.
|
Organizational chaos like anywhere else. Pay is good not great.
