Pros

Two weeks off at end of year

Cons

First off, the fact that the CPO, and HR rep and clearly someone on the L team wrote positive reviews recently (and not one person found them helpful) speaks volumes! Whether they are trying to improve the overall rating or they are that out of touch with reality, either way, it illustrates how toxic and poorly run the place is. Ego, greed and nepotism runs strong at GoGuardian. Bro culture, eating while talking on an all hands, hat backwards at an all hands all show a lack of respect for the employees. The new management that a recent review speaks of consists of all white men under 30 save 1! Where is the dei Cheif!? It’s appalling that someone who is paid at least $200k+ a year to run dei for an org didn’t ask for folks to go back to the drawing board when reorganization is taking place and say try again!

Pros

The product is fundamentally good. The cause is fundamentally good. The people you work with directly are great. Because the consumers are primarily government entities it is a very stable business model.

Cons

Management has no respect or concern for people who work here. Employees are disposable and there has been at least one layoff each year for the past three years. This usually is presented as “we didn’t have the right team” or “plans didn’t work out” and the usual cut and paste explanations. In spite of being told the company is very profitable, raises did not happen for a while and the most recent one is barely a cost of living adjustment. Promotions have also not happened and many people are doing a different more senior role with the title they started with during the pandemic era hiring boom. Senior leadership is detached, unaware of projects in flight, and unfamiliar with the products to the point they will suggest new initiatives that are for things we already have. Most of them come from very large companies and try to act as if we have the same headcount, resources, and consumer base as a multinational B2C and are seemingly confused and unhappy when things don’t work out the way they expected.
