Hi there. We're glad you enjoyed the flexibility and benefits at GoTo. To your point about little to no career growth opportunities, we actually provide a diverse range of career development and growth opportunities. Our dedicated Slack channel, #learning, features frequent posts and interactive prompts, fostering a dynamic learning environment. Additionally, we extend support through tuition and reading reimbursement for employees. Access to LinkedIn Learning is available 24/7 for all at GoTo. We conduct regular manager trainings, and every other month, we block off dedicated time on your calendar for GoTo Grow Learning Time, focusing exclusively on your professional development. We emphasize that everyone plays a role in steering their career path, and our Talent Development team has a training request form where you can submit your suggestions for training. Anyone at GoTo can explore the Talent Development page on the Hive for a wealth of resources, including templates for planning career conversations and developing professional skills.

A company that was once great took a real nosedive in recent years

Pros

Most people who work at this company are just incredible. They are this company's greatest asset and they are definitely not being appreciated enough (see Cons)

Cons

After the company went private everything slowly went downhill. A series of really unfortunate business decisions in the recent years led to the company reaching rock bottom, and instead of taking responsibility for those decisions the answer from the board was to 3 rounds of layoffs in 2023. A series of senior level leaders (from product and design to marketing and HR) leaving one after the other throughout the year confirms that things are looking grim for GoTo. In the product org, there's too much micro-management. The company hires senior contributors and then a bunch of middle managers to oversee them. I feel like you either trust a senior employee to do their work independently, or you don't, and then they're probably not a great fit for your company.

We appreciate your acknowledgment of the incredible people who make up our company. You are right - they're our greatest asset. Changes are often responses to the dynamic nature of our market environment. Like many companies in our industry, we adjust our strategy as needed to maintain competitiveness and sustainability. That said, we take accountability seriously and strive to communicate changes and strategic shifts transparently and effectively to keep everyone informed and aligned. All GoGetters should feel motivated to contribute and thrive, and any feedback is instrumental to helping us achieve that goal. We greatly appreciate your thoughts, and thank you for your contributions to GoTo over 6+ years.
