Pros

Few companies get to live up to their mission. The background check industry is rife with issues and a screening mentality. What was refreshing about my time with the team was that they - and especially the founding team - continued to invest in the greater good. Over time, I saw Checkr invest in their mission and cultivate an environment that would think about their impact on the society and the world.

Cons

Checkr saw a lot of growth and success early on. It's great in some ways and plays as a crutch in others. The upside for the company is tremendous still, but they'll have to learn new ways the hardy way to grow at this stage.

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.
