THE WORST - Anonymous employee Sifted Employee Review

Hi, former Sifter -- Thank you for your feedback. Our goal is that Sifted’s culture and work environment is inspiring to our employees. As a Co-Founder, I care deeply about the happiness and success of everyone on the team. I want this to be the most supportive environment anyone has ever worked in. The honest and anonymous reviews we receive on this platform help us evaluate whether we are successful in this, and what areas of our business need work. We don’t coerce, incentivize or manipulate anyone into leaving reviews, because we value the accuracy of this data. We take client feedback seriously for the same reasons: our product and service is driven by their input, and we want to hear the whole truth so we can continue to improve. We’re a bootstrapped company, which means that we carefully monitor every cent we earn and spend. I assure you that these resources are not allocated without careful thought. For example, both co-founders regularly do not receive pay checks in order to reinvest this money in the growth of the company. We do not, however, expect this of our employees, whose earnings lie above the 50th percentile. But, we know that startup life can be demanding -- sometimes this means a hectic schedule and almost always, this means the rate at which you have to grow is intimidating. Each of our employees is committed to working on themselves so that they can be the best Sifter and human possible, and we give each other the gift of empathy and honesty in the times that we fail. Thank you again for offering your perspective. We appreciate the insight you’ve noted here. If you’d like to chat in person about your experience with us, please reach out to me directly at jess@sifted.co. All the best, Jess Legge Co-Founder
