Procurify reviews

Things are very disorganized - ok, fine, "start up culture". Meetings were often scheduled but no one would show up without cancelling - sometimes multiple times a day. There is no sense of responsibility or accountability or respect for the time of your coworkers. Because most of the staff are very young and were friends with each other or knew each other before joining Procurify, they buy into typical start up platitudes about greatness from management but at the same allow themselves to be pushed beyond the limits of acceptable work environments or employment law while being underpaid for their skillset. A team once slept at the office on air mattresses working until 2am for nearly a week to meet a deadline that ended up getting pushed back anyways. If you try to take initiative to help organize things, or make suggestions, you are seen as stirring the pot and causing issues, or not embracing start up culture or the young vibe of the company. Complaints about things such as mouldy food on the kitchen counter left out for weeks were met with a shrug and "it's start up life". They say they want to "unlock the potential of every individual" and support all staff all the time but they fire people without warning based on internal gossip and not job performance. When they let staff go they take many weeks to issue final pay (should be issued in 48 hours), don't file ROEs, etc. and then try to claim that employees were contractors after the fact to get out of paying vacation pay. Saw lots of sexual harassment and they have the stance of "If you are the type of person to complain about this then you aren't a good fit for our culture" ... this included all three cofounders literally chasing female staff while drunk on a corporate retreat and trying to encourage them to engage in sexual acts. The internal joke is that their "HR Complaint Box" is a garbage can.

- COVID was just an excuse for some departments to layoff people who had strong opinions about the product and cared about the customer, which tells a lot about the leadership culture given that they are aggressively hiring three months after the layoffs. - Soo much tech debt that often prevents designers from innovation. - For a Senior-level, you are expected to have an understanding of business to get buy-in from leadership. - It feels like you can only grow by polishing the right people's shoes. - Procurify has been the first (and only) job for many engineers in the team. This often has an impact in terms of work ethics. - The sense of urgency to deliver is not the same for everyone, some people are in the comfort zone. - 1:1s some times are pointless because peer feedback is bad, you find out about how people feel about your work through your manager or a third persona. - Your performance is assessed by the success of your team rather than as an individual. - Only had training on general things leadership wanted me to attend but had 0 training on topics I was interested about (also relating to my position). - The founder is a great guy but always looked so stressed or burned out.
