Good Product, Bad Management
|
|
Great product and talented co-workers.
|
No matter your background, the CEO lacks trust in the people he hires.
Being belittled on calls or over slack is a common occurrence from the CEO. He focuses on the competitor instead of the accomplishments within the company.
The company has high turnover, you see people disappear on slack with no explanation and no guidance on who to go to in replacement, how to obtain files they may have, or learn the processes they had in place.
Teams are overwhelmed and not given the extra resources or help, we are just expected to overexert ourselves.
Deadlines, feedback, and expectations are not made clear, even if you try to get clarity.

Great Product, Problematic Culture
|
|
The company genuinely values helping people succeed on YouTube. While this may sound like a marketing gimmick, this does actually matter to the team from top to bottom.
The tech behind vidIQ is genuinely impressive, with some very talented people putting in work to make it better, more reliable, and more useful every day.
The company is remote-first, with a lot of cool perks and bonuses that stem from that.
|
Despite the company being relatively small and growing actively, very few opportunities for career growth are present. Instead of investing in existing team members who have experience with the product and the customer base, external upper management is hired and placed above the existing employees in the command chain.
A greater problem is the company’s culture. Remote work can lend itself to tribalism, indirect communication, and mistrust. This should be prevented by the top management, but sadly it isn’t. As a result, the working atmosphere feels toxic and rife with talking behind each others’ backs.
While working here, you may not get direct and clear feedback about your work. Praise is infrequent and is usually given to a select few superstar employees.
The company makes efforts to communicate overall objectives and goals, but on the tactical level it’s very prone to sudden shifts and swerves. While this is normal for a growing business, the reasons for these changes are not always communicated well and usually are presented in a “you are doing this now” kind of way.
Layoffs happen suddenly, without providing any chances for the employee to keep their position, remain within the company, or even say goodbye to the team. While firings are a normal thing for any business, the abrupt way they are being done is very disrespectful to employees.
All in all, this leaves an impression that your work does not matter that much and you are easily replaceable.

A long road to success
|
|
Attractive self sustainable product. Smart and passionate coworkers who know and love what they do. Modern tools with flexibility to pick tech stack that works for you and your team.
|
Toxic leadership. Get the smartest team around the world with poor leadership infusing stress and you will get vidiq. Teams are misaligned on strategy and execution. Zero transparency. Creative product ideas and offered solutions are being ignored. There are strong experts who joined the company over last year but it will be a long road of breaking the current plateau of bad practice and toxicity.

Beware
|
|
The product enables creators and entrepreneurs. Remote culture allows for flexibility.
|
The company is starting to build a very cruel leadership team. This is creating an environment of fear and anxiety. There have been arbitrary lay-offs all in the name of progress and leveling up. But that doesn't seem to be the case to me.
These employees are not great leaders. The saving grace would be if they are really great at their craft. This would mean the company will be successful, but there will be high turnover. I'm not sure how this will all shake out. I do have a long list of companies I wouldn't work for, but wouldn't bet against. I would count this as one of them. All my opinion of course. Hopefully you find something different here.
