Pros

Decent health and other benefits Hybrid work Some great team members

Cons

Benefits have become increasingly less competitive over time. Senior leadership feels deeply disconnected from frontline teams and day-to-day operational realities. Leadership culture often leaned heavily toward visibility over trust, creating an environment where being seen sometimes felt more important than actual output. Strong micromanagement tendencies from upper leadership created unnecessary pressure and reduced autonomy for managers and teams. Urgency culture was exhausting — nearly everything was treated as critical, making it difficult to maintain healthy work-life boundaries. After-hours messages and shifting priorities were common. Decisions often felt reactive rather than strategic, which created frustration and inconsistency across teams. Employee trust did not always feel mutual, and oversight could feel excessive rather than supportive. Certain areas of management, particularly within onboarding/leadership structures, at times felt influenced by favoritism, inconsistent treatment, and cliquish dynamics rather than transparency and merit-based decision making. Collaboration across teams could feel impacted when communication and opportunities did not always appear evenly distributed. Compensation and benefits no longer felt competitive compared to similar roles elsewhere. People not employees used to be such a common phrase for Weave. You literally do not hear or see it anywhere anymore.

Pros

Compelling product space, the people actually doing the work are great

Cons

Weave has lost its way - "people first" is long gone. Way too quick to discard individuals instead of trying to build them up - employees are expendable and disposable. Lack of open and honest conversations from senior leadership. Instead of healthy improvement after the wake of a management training on Mulitpliers, the worst diminishing behaviors ramped up in its wake. People get completely trashed in performance reviews. I’ve heard that little or no severance is offered to people they discard. There is a lack of meritocracy at Weave and it has been replaced in part by office politics and even nepotism. Upper management makes the decisions and teams are supposed to say "yes, sir" and deal with it. Product teams in particular have been relegated to executing projects mandated from on high, as opposed to discovering important problems to solve and creatively approaching the problem space with domain context and local ownership. The company pivots major strategic directions way too often. There is an utter lack of genuine introspection about corporate-level failures and missteps - it’s just on to the next “big thing.” Brett White is capable, competent, and intelligent. Brett is also not charismatic and has contributed to the sterile culture at the company which has led to treating its people as cogs in the machine.
