Pros

Still working on many interesting projects and especially helping people to get jobs in a fair way.

Cons

Culture is changing recently. I feel it started as a company that cared about its employees for real, but now it looks like they only care if you are good enough, not interested at all in creating a path to improve or what is causing any demotivation.

In my case, I worked at Checkr for almost 5 years. My last manager and his boss (the VP) only pointed out a document with the new expectations of the company after a full context change to a completely new technology for me. Instead of helping me to find the best path to success, they humiliated me and pushed me to find that way on my own somehow.

Advice to Management

I think something that is already missed at Checkr is identifying what their people's interests are and also, in case of lack of motivation, detecting it early and accompanying their employees so they can together find a path to improve. There is no chance of error or space to be demotivated today at Checkr, which for me is sad, being part of the company almost from its beginning.
