Pros

Great people CEO is transparent but nothing that's being shared sounds that great or makes sense. Ability for hybrid/remote work. Healthcare benefits are good.

Cons

Unlimited PTO (Seemed great at first, but now realizing it's not that great. Being understaffed makes it difficult or you feel guilty for taking time off, that I take less time off than I would have accrued at a traditional place. I would feel better departing from the company with all my PTO being paid out. Company direction is constantly changing. Don't really know what we're doing. We are just headless chickens in a room on fire. I'm just waiting for something good to happen. Product is decent but full of bugs. Extremely high turnover. Underpaid, high performing employees do not feel recognized. 401k match low.

Pros

Very supportive managers and a fun, highly collaborative team. The department fosters an environment where ideas are openly shared and opportunities for improvement are discussed constructively without toxicity. Truly the best company I’ve worked for so far.

Cons

The interview process was somewhat lengthy, and salary discussions were not entirely consistent.

Pros

It was okay before the favoritism and gender pay gaps

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism. When I found out I was making far less than a male coworker in the same role with less years of experience, they did nothing to rectify the situation. Also, the CEO is far too involved in Product and dictates rather than collaborates
