Pros

You get to work on features that actually lead to people getting jobs quicker and help justice impacted individuals get employment. Coworkers are genuinely nice and respectful. Checkr hires kind and intelligent people!

Cons

Heavy focus on moving fast and Product pushes engineers to meet deadlines that are sometimes not reasonable. It leads to long hours and too much stress. Working as a junior and then a mid level engineer for Checkr, I find myself working longer and longer hours — often more than 50-60 hours a week. Depending upon what team you’re on, on-call shifts can be really stressful and you can get paged a lot throughout the nights and weekends.

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.
