## Reviews

### "I admire work story" — 4.0/5

> **Siphosethu** | *21 May 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I admire workstory on the fact that it monitors your performance and shares
 comments work story for how you should improve in your job
> 
> **Cons**: I do not like the fact that everyone in the organization can access your personal stuff, like example, the comments
> 
> My overall experience has been great so far, no complaints

-----

### "Gotta Start Somewhere" — 5.0/5

> **Jose** | *26 August 2025* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: A big plus for using this app is the convenience of customization options, in essence which method of contact and notifications works best for you.  This allows for feedback and surveys to be integrated within the communication tool that a person uses most often.
> 
> **Cons**: In my opinion, the biggest challenge is at the beginning, when one starts using the app.  There is a bite of a learning curve, but the apps does have a user-friendly interface to learn the ins and outs.
> 
> WorkStory is a good option for companies modernizing their performance review process. This allows to shift from infrequent, manual reviews to a system of automated, consistent feedback. The AI-powered summarization and seamless integration within existing communication tools, saves time and provide managers with valuable data-driven insights.

Additionally, I for one would like to welcome out new AI overlords.

### "workstory review" — 3.0/5

> **Liberato** | *02 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: it's great to get reviews from your performance
> 
> **Cons**: the fact that I can see who reviewed me prevents people from giving a real review.  the whole point is to give a honest review of others anonymously.
> 
> not great.  too many emails and not very good questions

-----

### "WorkStory - Review from a New User" — 5.0/5

> **Sharon** | *19 March 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how the messages appear in my 'Teams' environment, as I see that notification more frequently when it shows up. I also like that you may choose whether to submit anonymously or not.
> 
> **Cons**: It may be due the way we are set up, but answers have to be submitted on each question, rather than all with one 'submit'. But I could also see where if you want to be anonymous on one and not on the other, this would make sense.
> 
> We are relatively new to this, and so far so good. Looking forward to when we expand our usage within the company.

### "Powerful tool to give higher quality reviews with data gathered throughout the year." — 5.0/5

> **Rob** | *08 October 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to take feedback gathered during the year and compose a review for your team members with the help of AI which generates the initial review and edit into a personal review. This allows for more accurate information as the source and the outcome is a quality review in less time.
> 
> **Cons**: It will take some time to get the system setup for the appropriate cadence, but once that time is taken for tailoring to the needs of the team and is streamlined for quick feedback events, it becomes a very useful tool.
> 
> My experience was good as I got used to the cadence and expectations of filling out answers to questions from my pears and team members.
