Pros

Perks, standard tech fare, beautiful offices

Cons

Leadership team is unqualified to run the business. Being an engineer founder doesn't make you well-suited for the role of CEO. C-staff is unprofessional, belittling senior staff and others, and engaging in behavior and activities that are on the edge of legality. I would not be surprised to see a class action come out over unethical hiring practices and terminations. This company is unlikely to go IPO as the CEO and CFO keep profiting by selling their shares on the secondary market, but not allowing others to - so for them, no need to IPO. On the candidate side, Checkr is buying all the data companies so that even their competitors have to use their information resulting in some candidates never passing background checks if the information is wrong - no matter which company runs them - Checkr owns most of it.

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.
