![]() ![]() Being analytical and a bit introvert by nature, I usually have sparks with CEO-type people. Sometimes personalities clash, but that doesn’t make the other party incompetent. I’m not going to talk about what I didn’t see, but we have to be fair and separate skills from personal affinities. We work in a business, not in the care bears world. No, we don’t see eye-to-eye on EVERY aspect of day-to-day methodology/priorities, but it’s just minor and normal. You want to be part of the highest level of a pyramid? Just know that it’s not a 50k employees giant and that the organizational structure is quite flat and in many places in a matrix-like structure (which is such a great thing in my view). You want to deepen your knowledge of your field and be the best in what you do? Go for it. As for personal career opportunities, it depends on your own definition of it. The company itself has a lot of room to grow. In my eyes, the tree is pretty well-groomed right now. When a tree branch grows in the wrong direction, it gets pruned. On the other hand, sometimes bad hires just happen. I must be receiving at least 1 email from recruiters every 10 days or so and I don’t see why it’d be different for any of my talented colleagues. In this world, companies are fighting amongst each other for talents. Yes, there will be a high turnover, but it would be simply dishonest to put it all on the company’s back. We’re talking about a “teenaged tech start-up”. In case you’re in the same situation, I hope it’ll help you put things into perspective.Ģ things. ![]() To begin, I really wanted to discuss the fears I had BEFORE getting hired and after reading the glassdoor comments. I’ve been hired a few months ago and I, at the time of writing, am completely adoring my time at LANDR! I was optimistic that management would turn things around but i'm hearing that things are only getting worse and i feel extremely bad for my ex colleagues that are still on this sinking ship. i left of my own accord because i felt it was time for a new opportunity where i'd be able to have a say in decisions that were made. I know it doesn't seem like it, but I honestly don't have hard feelings towards the company. My guess is they know exactly what is going on but are forced to play along since they are HR. HR seems equally clueless as to what is going on and this is further proven by the way they respond to the comments here on glassdoor. I was there for less than two years and i saw two marketing VPs come and go. ![]() Keep in mind, LANDR has professional copy writers that are english speakers and are musicians)įinally, if you aren't on the product team, don't ever expect your opinion to be considered, no matter what your position is. When we later run a/b tests, her copy performs miserably but her leitmotiv never changes. One of the heads of product is a tyrant who simply does not consider anyone's opinion, micromanages and imposes her ideas on everyone even when she clearly isn't the subject matter expert (ie: she is not a native english speaker nor is she a musician yet she dictates word for word english copy that is destined to musicians. This is demobilizing almost everyone in the company and many many core players have resigned in the second half of 2021. Many of these projects end up being abandoned mere weeks after everyone has been squeezed to the bone like it was the next gold rush. He makes the entire company pivot to new projects over and over and pressures everyone to deliver within absolutely unrealistic timelines on opportunities where the due diligence has simply NOT been done (cease and desist, anyone?). CEO often seems like he has no clue what he's doing even though he talks like LANDR is the best and biggest company in the industry. This company is absolutely unable to manage its growth. ![]()
