Pros

- Labelbox is the first place I've worked where it's clear everyone genuinely cares and is excited about the product they build. It's contagious and makes going to work so much more fun. - Work/life balance is strong, we respects each other's work time boundaries and I've always felt comfortable and encouraged when scheduling vacation time - The team has done an excellent job staying social and inclusive despite the switch to WFH during the COVID pandemic. - The people, the people, the people. The companies grown a lot in the last couple years but they've managed to keep it feeling like a family.

Cons

Scaling at such a quick pace has put some strains on certain systems/processes. Systems designed for a 15 person company need to be reassessed frequently when growing.

Pros

The people you work with day to day. Some of the best folks I have ever met in my life. Genuinely smart, talented and driven. Legitimately the only thing that makes working there tolerable.

Cons

Where do I begin: 1) Management has no idea what they’re doing. Individuals in leadership positions have no idea what’s going on day to day and have really unrealistic expectations. 2) The culture is do what you’re told or get bad mouthed by individuals with some degree of power to the senior leadership. 3) They somehow attract amazing talent and have no idea on how to retain them. 10 people that have been absolutely essential in growth of the company’s revenue have left in the last 3 months and they have hired 1 replacement so far! the expectation is people who remain will pick up the remaining work. 4) No forward momentum or growth from research. The company is reactive as opposed to proactive. No ideation and investment in ideas that could lead to business growth. How is the division meant to succeed? 5) Middle management exists at its finest and its both a resource and a money sink. If everyone on the team can see it, its hard to understand why the senior leadership cannot.
