Pros

In general only the big name startups such as Slack, Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest etc. get press because of high funding rounds and PR frenzies every time they do something. Checkr is one of those companies that you haven't heard about but is not only doing extremely well as a company, but is also an AMAZING place to work for (which can't be said for many startups). The onboarding program is great, as well as the overall inclusion and company culture of openness, hard work and enjoying working with your fellow employees. I am so glad I interviewed and received an offer to work here because I am learning so much from our leadership and rest of our team on a daily basis, and am proud to be part of this high growth company! I would recommend Checkr to anyone looking to learn a lot about how we are disrupting the background check industry while being a part of a startup with a validated business model, solid management, and a great set of employees.

Cons

None so far, management is doing a great job of attracting/retaining talent as well as supporting customer needs.

Pros

Great insurance. Learning Stipends, etc

Cons

-Senior leadership only cares about what is new and shiny. -They treat AI like a religion. Forcing everyone to use AI for everything as though we don't realize that the end goal is to eliminate our roles - All Hands Meetings every month where Senior Leadership pats themselves on the back while ignoring any existing issues. - Support is treated like a necessary evil instead of a fundamental part of doing business. Would prefer to ship the roles overseas or replace with AI - Extremely high attrition for Senior Leadership.
