Pros

Admirable mission. Hourly employees and people at Director level and above were all good people and mature adults. I really appreciated the call from the VP of my department apologizing to me on behalf of Bevi before I left.

Cons

There are the typical and understandable challenges of working at any start up, such as little time invested in training and onbaording, supply chain and logistics hic-ups, multiple projects and initiative happening at any time. These challenges would all be very manageable, but what makes this a very difficult place to thrive is how poorly people treat each other. The remote office dynamics seemed to follow the rules of high school cliques. Gossip is constant. Even between Sr. Management and hourly employees. Every day there is drama -- any minor mistake and/or miscommunication gets escalated to your managers and often their managers in a bid to get you in trouble rather taking the time to talk through the miscommunication, etc. Coworkers freeze information and communication if you do something that they don't like. Imagine working at a place where 1/3 of the office completely ignores you on your 4th week because they didn't like a decision you made about who to allocate to a simple project. (You read that correctly, 1/3 of the very small office pretended I didn't exist when I walked into a room and I was only 4 weeks into the role). There's a clear sense of entitlement among profit center focused teams. They really seemed to think cost center teams reported to them. Management and HR seemed unable or unwilling to address the issues.

Thank you for your detailed review - this individual experience you had at Bevi is disturbing to read. While Bevi certainly has growing pains as we scale (you’ve enumerated some - there are inevitably more!), this is not the company culture we recognize, be it in our headquarters in Boston, satellite offices, or other remote locations. There are definitely unique challenges in having remote locations - encouraging our 5-person presence in Chicago to feel connected to the company at large is something we strive to do by hosting annual offsite multiday retreats the whole company attends, regular holiday parties, functional meetings, and cross-functional trainings. But overall, we’ve tried to build Bevi to be as positive, affirming and inclusive a place as possible, emphasizing not just constant interdepartmental communication and flat hierarchies (not to be confused with 'gossip' or conversely ‘escalation’), but also the core values of “Being Great to Work with” and “Raising the Bar Together.” Regardless of location, we take collaborative company culture and employee work experience very seriously, and strive to incorporate feedback and do better.

Pros

Free lunch on Thursday and Monday

Cons

Management has favorites if you are among them you will do great, you are out the door if you are not . HR surveys are not anonymous so better be a a company person.

Pros

I love my immediate team – we all get along swimmingly and work together really well. I call them my friends, not just colleagues. The product is why I joined and I have lots of faith that it is a genius product that will go far. The office vibe is very casual and not intimidating so I enjoy coming into the office 2 days a week.

Cons

I don't feel like I get recognized for my successes – usually someone else who has a higher position gets recognized for my success. Leadership sticks their nose into every little project, which ends up holding the team back from doing things effectively and efficiently. Leadership makes decisions for projects in departments they know nothing about because of "gut feelings" and they also don't give actionable feedback on how departments should change or fix the projects they didn't like because of said "gut feelings". I am honestly not sure there is much career development here, not just for me but for lots of people. Seems like once you're here, you're stuck.
