Toxic work culture - Anonymous employee Automation Hero Employee Review

It saddens us to read your review and learn about your unpleasant experience. We thank you for your feedback and take it to heart. Automation Hero is a young startup moving lightning fast and we know mistakes happen - we embrace them and support each other to learn, grow, and do better next time. We facilitate transparent discussions in our all-hands meetings and encourage all employees and contractors to communicate with their managers/leadership if they have concerns so we can address them in a timely manner. Please find our comments below that hopefully address each concern. -As you pointed out, the product and market are hot right now and our strategy is to see everyone who rolls up their sleeves reap huge success. We certainly are ambitious and encourage each other to take on stretch assignments and grow our careers by overcoming new obstacles. This sometimes does mean longer hours but we never try to impart a sense of guilt. We are all in this together. The challenges are matched by the opportunity. We are proud that our work ethic has resulted in our ability to keep everyone employed through the COVID-19 crisis. -We value diversity and inclusion and have policies to ensure all employees are supported around family, health, and personal time off. This is especially true as a lot of our colleagues are finding new ways to work from home due to COVID-19, including parents and caretakers. -We offer internal development training and opportunities through content created by our education team and through external training and career development resources. -It’s never our intention to “send people into the fire” but in a newly emerging market, there are plenty of uncertainties that we all tackle together and seek to learn from. -We are constantly researching market salaries in our multiple international locations to ensure we offer competitive wages and benefits. -We do not subscribe to a “work hard play hard mentality” and have many employees we value and support who choose not to participate in after-work events. However, we do like to celebrate our wins and holidays respectfully and responsibility though no one is required to “party all night”. Thank you again for your feedback and for the opportunity for us to reflect and do better as we grow. We wish you all the best in your future career endeavors.
