Young team and lively culture, sponsorship opportunities, decent processes
Cons
Too micromanaging, no work life balance, very hard to get promoted, unexpected firing and not transparent, not very good benefits compared to other tech companies

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re glad you had positive experiences with the team culture and our processes. We’d like to address a couple of the points raised, as we think some additional context is helpful here.
On career progression frameworks and policies - at Sitemate, promotion and advancement is based on impact and attainment, not tenure. We deliberately built it this way so that high performers aren't held back by how long they've been in a seat. The majority of our sales team have had multiple internal moves and progressions during their time here, which we're genuinely proud of and which you can see reflected on their LinkedIn profiles.
On the departure process - we take individual privacy seriously, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to speak to specific circumstances publicly. What we can say is that we handle all people decisions with care and respect, we’re always open to direct feedback through the appropriate channels if someone feels that the standard wasn’t met.
We wish you well in your next chapter, and thank you again for the time you spent with the Sitemate team.
Best,
Sitemate People Team
- The company is growing really fast (several times since I joined 2 years ago), but it keeps, in many aspects, the "small ideas factory" aspect
- Remote and local teams - so you can choose the format that fits better to your lifestyle (remote team here)
- The remote and local members have the same rights - so it works as a single company
- Competitive in wages overall; they adapted to my preferred way of receiving money abroad, so you don't need any payments contortionism in order to get your money
Cons
- I don't see any bad thing; have been here for more than 2 years now, even living in a completely different timezone (the majority of the year, I am 14 hours behind the company's time)
