Can anyone at chegg speak in terms of how it is going . Employees only please . Is Company open to at least hybrid ? Wlb Culture Growth and opportunities? Internal transfer of roles ? @chegg
have a second round interview today for a hybrid role. wondering the same
I did a stint there and ran. I would steer clear of this company. Yes chatgpt isnt the the stronger but I don’t believe Chegg’s Q&A solutions were remotely strong. As an MBA student, Most questions I’ve searched for in the past were wrong. Their newest solution is Cheggmate (backed by openai) and that’s basically Chatgpt with a Chegg UI. I don’t see longevity. WLB is dependent on team. They hired me around Jan with incentives like sign on,WFH,and Forkable lol and by March their stock slashed by 50 overnight. By May there was a RTO and all efforts were seemingly on Cheggmate. Overall all teams work silo so you’re just spinning. Diversity lacks unless you’re Asian or Indian. Majority or the team comes from the companies they acquired. Ultimately resigned and lawyered up to keep my sign-on. Place was a joke and I’m use to working for real companies like FANNGM My YOE is 10 mostly TPgM. And TC at Chegg was 412. Now I’m at 482K.
WLB is good but depends on org and time of year (we’re a very seasonal business) Culture is pretty good from a standpoint of getting along with your coworkers. But that probably depends on org. Growth opportunities are decent at the more junior levels but gets tougher as you move up. We’re top heavy in terms of management which makes it difficult to break into that layer. Hybrid work is the norm. 2 days a week in person is required if you live within 50 miles of one of our offices. Internal transfer… I’ve seen it happen for sure. But it’s a question of your performance and the need for whatever role you’d be moving into. Comp is fine. Middle of the pack, I’d say. Maybe even high on cash and equity comp since we don’t do annual bonuses. When the stock price isn’t in the dumps we’re quite competitive in terms of pay. In terms of how it’s going… I dunno, not great. Like I don’t think we’re gonna go away based on the numbers you can see in our quarterly report. But I also don’t have much faith that we’re going to innovate our way back to the top of the pack at this pace. All in all, it’s not a rocket ship but still a good enough place to work if your goal isn’t to work at a brand that is a topic of conversation at the dinner table. Your career at chegg definitely won’t get you laid.
