Rover.com reviews

Complete bait and switch. If you are looking to work at a small / mid-late start up company beware. It is near impossible to get the simplest of daily tasks done because of the politics here. There is no career advancement unless you are Director and above. They desperately need to hire a CHRO. The company is crumbling due to the lack of HR leadership, expertise, and common sense when it comes to their employees. They do not care nor focus on attrition and instead point the finger and blame when employees leave 3, 6, 9 months in. This costs the company hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. This also affects the entire leadership team's credibility because they choose to keep inexperienced people on top in fear of damaging personal relationships. Everyone is burnt out from IC level to SVP. There is a culture of long term employees who get to say and do whatever they want and no one is held accountable. Ownership and the space to fail does not exist here and you will be thrown under the bus for the smallest mistakes, if your title is not that of Director and above.

After reassuring all global colleagues that no job losses would be made during the coronavirus pandemic, Rover.com fired 195 people on one pre-recorded video call. Access to slack and emails were removed as the words 'you have lost your job' were uttered, so you could not even wrap up projects and say goodbye to colleagues. To add salt to the wound? A press article about the redundancies went live 5 minutes later, before our redundancy letters were even received. This included 'heartfelt' quotes from the CEO, who we have not heard a word from. Subsequent company announcements explained to the employees who were not let go, that the business made the decision not to use its financial reserves to keep jobs, as this money is there for 'profit-driving activities'. Wow.
