Typeform reviews

Management changed end 2018. Since then it’s been downhill. Not sure what’s going on but it’s bad. After the new CEO, CPO, CTO and a bunch of other C’s joined, there has been a continued talent escape and people are “disappearing” from one day to the next without obvious reasons. I mean, one could be understandable but there are so many disappearances lately. Morale has turned around 180 degrees. From a company that used to be transparent, it has turned into a company where you can’t even trust HR or Management. With less knowledgeable people and more juniors joining in, teams struggle. The objectives seem to be ever changing and there isn’t clarity on which direction to follow. Promoted people don’t make sense while new hires seem to be hired without even following hiring processes. There is also little to none diversity within the new hires. The offices are not suitable to work. Meeting rooms are saunas and some areas of work feel like fridges. Most workspaces are super dark to be working for hours and there aren’t any adjustable desks. Company doesn’t seem to be willing to spend any money on this, yet they invest a lot on other stupid stuff (e.g. socks, weird workshops)

When the new CEO started and replaced the whole C-Level (in some cases, in a very opaque way), it was the beginning of the end of the human side of Typeform. After a series of catastrophic public meetings and firings of perfectly capable and liked professionals that voiced their criticism, management hired an external consultant and overhauled the values, only for HR to use new values against even more perfectly capable professionals and crush any criticism. Effectively, management is creating a toxic environment where any valid criticism will be silenced, and real issues (middle managers, directors or even C-levels with massive egos) are being swept under the rug, to hide the utter incompetence of an HR team that seems to answer more to the company shareholders than to the employees they allegedly represent. It’s a real pity, as it’s a company that in the past could proudly say they cared about their employees, but politicking, bad decisions, and management going out of their ways to defend their bad decisions are seriously threatening the future of the company. I know that my experience might have been different from other people’s, but that doesn’t invalidate it, as some other reviews seem to suggest.
