Grindr Reviews

It has gotten scary here! - Deeply out of touch C-suite, who came in when the company was THRIVING to take us public, and then promptly and systematically destroyed the things that MADE us thrive. - A CEO with a public track record of donating to anti-trans politicians (???), and complete inability to listen to (and lack of interest in) employees. He most recently made the choice to hire a notorious union-busting law firm instead of recognizing his workers’ right to organize. - CEO/CFO have fired well-liked, top performers over and over, leaving projects without leaders and the company understaffed - just to avoid any dissenting opinions. - Our entire HR department has quit in light of this - leaving us all with no recourse or support whatsoever. - Finally, after being a remote company for years, since before the pandemic and long before he joined the company, the CEO announced via a zoom call that we would no longer be remote. He told us that folks would have TWO weeks to make the decision to make cross-country moves if they wanted to keep their jobs. He immediately cut the call, and he (and all of C-Suite) refused to engage with concerned employees.

Many folks were forced out in a Return to Office policy announced 2 weeks after employees expressed their intentions to unionize. In the company-wide meeting where the RTO was announced, the CEO gave the ultimatum for employees to uproot their lives (and the lives of their dependents), move to different states, to go into an office twice a week in one of the chosen hubs (conveniently centered around the bases of leadership)—or leave the company. Understandably, many of us had questions and concerns about this life-impacting decision, however, the call was immediately cut short by the CEO. Employees were given 2 weeks to make the decision. Following up this meeting, leadership went completely quiet and ignored any comments related to the RTO. tl;dr, Expect constant lies from leadership, the culture is toxic, morale is in the dumps, middle management has gaslighted themselves into believing everything is okay. It is definitely not. This may sound like an exaggeration, but I have never felt so dispensable, so helpless and small than I have during my last few months at Grindr. If you're considering working here—please reconsider.
