Pros

- AMAZING coaches - Great pay (in tech org) - Smart, empathetic group of coworkers - The mission

Cons

- Focus on flashy over a solid, working product - Underpaid coaches - Disconnect between C suite (founders) and reality of product. CEO is so out of touch - The heavy focus on the mission and values (literally got stickers lol) felt like manipulation. Oh, we're not doing well because we need to focus on "do less deliver more"? That's not how this works. - Sometimes this company felt like going to school instead of being treated like an adult employee at work. So many reading assignments and discussions. I enjoyed the reading sometimes but it felt SO top-down, forced, and weird. "Sorry I can't help out around the house after a long day at work, I have to read this book my CEO/upper management said we had to read in 2 weeks so I can discuss the questions provided to me with my team." Often felt like if I said no I'd be punished, judged, or left out.

Challenging work, but worth it

Pros

The people are genuine. Very grateful to have the colleagues I have. Bright minds with diverse backgrounds. A strong culture that has been grown organically. The company actually cares about its employees.

Cons

Work-life balance can be a little tough, but it's manageable...also it's a start-up, so the workloads are expected. But this isn't really a con, just the only one I can think of.

Pros

This company believes in the quote, "If you can dream it, you can do it." It's been such a great opportunity to work in a place that not only empowers you to dream big but pushes you to realize those goals. The employees are ambitious, supportive, and caring. Leaders are open-minded, bold and zealous. Company culture is not about the office perks, it's about helping employees tap into their potential.

Cons

We're working in a company that is being built simultaneously. This is not an ideal company if you have anxieties about not having all processes fully fleshed out. There's a good chance, you'll have the be one to build the program that you think we're missing. It's a full fledged startup. Through and through.
