Pros

* Loom has an environment that encourages high impact work that aligns with your own career and life. * Everyone at work thrives to be better coworkers and people. * Assuming positive intent of one another has really helped the company drill down to what's important * Unlimited PTO and an understanding that people need breaks, physical and mental to perform their best

Cons

* While feedback is treated as a gift, it can take a while for it to be delivered at times * No 360 review structure in place currently (April, '19)

Hello! This is Vinay (co-founder and head of engineering). I really appreciate the candid feedback on both the pros and cons. The unlimited PTO thing is especially nice to hear, because, truthfully, I am always concerned that unlimited PTO leads to people not actually taking the time off they need. As for the feedback taking a while to be delivered, I would love to understand how you may change that. Currently we employ yearly reviews, but I personally am not a big fan of them. Would moving to 6-month reviews work better? Where else would you like to see feedback be delivered in a systemized way? My thinking is that some people are more comfortable with delivering feedback than others, so we really need to make sure there are processes that allow folks to deliver feedback (sometimes anonymously - as you're saying with 360 degree reviews). Would love to hear your thoughts and will wait for a reply back! Vinay

Pros

Good advancement at first, recognition of my contributions to the team.

Cons

Promoted incredibly junior employees for management just to fill seats. They were abysmal and led to countless people leaving.
