Pros

Working from home (which a lot of companies do now so it's not special)

Cons

Terrible culture. There is no formal training, no established milestones, so you have no clue what you're doing.

James here, CEO of Jobscan. Thanks for your candid feedback. Regarding culture, we have since established fireside chats where the managers and team members huddle to discuss ways to improve our culture. For example, we now have community meetings and MBRs because the monthly meetings were a bit dry. And we also implemented 10% time for individuals to work on their passion projects. We also just had a company retreat where we flew the team to San Diego and we booked a huge Airbnb with a pool. The team was glad to meet each other face-to-face for 5 days and planned for the future. In reference to the one-hour training - it's called the "How Jobscan started." As most companies started with a story of the founder and that context is the root of the culture. I have been laid-off and been through the hardships of a job seeker. Without that experience, there'd be no Jobscan. I encourage anyone seeing this to meet with our team without my presence. Have a real conversation with our team will offer you much more insights about our future.

Pros

I've been at Jobscan for 4 years, and I’ve genuinely loved every second of it. It's rare to find a fully remote company that still manages to feel like a close-knit family, but Jobscan has created that environment. The culture is supportive, collaborative, and mission-focused — you always feel like the work you're doing is making a real difference in people’s lives. Communication across teams is excellent, and the benefits are generous. Most importantly, you're surrounded by people who care deeply about helping others succeed in their careers. It's a company that walks the talk when it comes to empathy, innovation, and impact. If you're looking for a place where you can grow, be yourself, and contribute to something meaningful — Jobscan is it.

Cons

There aren't any major red flags I can think of.

Pros

Remote work, generous PTO plan, benefits if FTE in the states

Cons

As others have stated, Jobscan suffers from a toxic work environment led by an impulsive CEO. He ropes you in with an amicable mission but refuses to lead with integrity and trust, stunting the product’s growth. This environment is fueled by blame shifting behaviors and avoidance, orchestrated by a CEO who is obsessively driven by numbers. Once hired you will quickly understand your role in helping him live a comfortable lifestyle as he cuts tools while you sleep without warning when numbers slip and sets unrealistic expectations once you’re left with scraps to perform your job. He often triangulates out of boredom while he harvests your energy during unpredictable 1:1’s. There are brilliant people on the team hindered by his ego and false sense of reality. He hides behind the word “start up” while the company has been in business since 2014. If you have a strong moral compass, just do yourself a favor and keep searching for a better opportunity, your mental health is more important. The only reason so many people are still putting up with it is because the job market is the worst it’s ever been. For their sake I hope James gets himself some help and starts worrying less about personal gains, recognizes his blessings and focuses more about the mission while treating his employees as human beings instead of pawns on a chess board. Lead by example, you’re literally in the business of landing people jobs.
