Avidbots Response
4yThank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate your perspective. It is important for us to hear what we are doing well and what we need to improve upon. We are continuously learning and committed to improving.
We are not used to receiving 1 star reviews so we are not happy that your experience working here has been unsatisfactory and means that in your case, we have failed somewhere along the way. I want you to know I take ownership for ways we let you down - we can always improve and feedback like this drives us to do so.
Firstly, I am sorry to learn about your current mental health and state. I am glad you are seeking professional help and receiving the therapy needed to regain your well being. We take mental health and overall wellbeing seriously and have many programs, benefits, and resources accessible to all Avidbotters for their wellness (internal and external supports in place). Furthermore, we take all aspects of health and safety seriously and follow, monitor, and enforce all safety and wellness protocols, including those developed for the COVID-19 pandemic response to ensure the safety of our employees when they come to our offices.
As much as we appreciate the feedback overall and have been reflecting on it, we cannot agree with the statement and review of "sex-crazed management" nor what is being implied by it. We have a great culture. We highly value diversity and inclusion and work hard to address any concerns that can arise when a company is growing and scaling quickly like we are. We recognize there are going to be growing pains, although we remain committed to always treating each other with respect, integrity, and professionalism.
Our leadership team values and acts on feedback we receive from many channels, one being the Great Places to Work employee engagement survey. We encourage our team to share their feedback and concerns not only via the surveys but through the many opportunities we create for such feedback loops as well as speaking with their leaders and our People team. We are sorry you did not feel comfortable bringing your feedback to us during your time at Avidbots. We have let you down and are sorry that we were not able to improve or resolve the concerns you have raised here.
As the new VP, People & Culture I would be very open to having a discussion if you would like to reach out to me directly.
Best Regards,
Andrea Morrison
