Pros

- there are some very smart and talented people working at this company (except for most management) - coworkers are super friendly - pretty flexible hours - benefits are great - office is in a great location, lots of great restaurants nearby - standing desks

Cons

- the culture used to be great, now it's toxic - company only seems to recognize those who put in overtime - does not value those who work really hard and do great work but who want work/life balance - every project is rushed and quality suffers - salaries are not competitive - lack of experience on exec team and unwillingness to take responsibility - environment is not conducive to innovation and creativity

Thank you for your feedback. You’re right about the talent and intelligence at Sensibill - there’s an abundance of both here! We’ve worked hard to build a place where people like coming to work and enjoy spending time with their colleagues. As for the “toxicity” you describe - I suspect what you’re feeling is an aversion to some of the changes. The work culture, our mission, and even our vision has changed in the past 6 months. In truth, these are natural growing pains of a venture-backed, high-growth startup transitioning to a scaleup. Even so, that’s not an excuse. We acknowledge we’re not praising, rewarding, or celebrating as much as we should be, but it’s not for a lack of recognition - we wouldn’t be where we are if it weren’t for every single individual's output. We take full responsibility for not communicating that well enough to you while you were here, and we will do better moving forward.

Pros

The people I worked with were some of the best people I've come across in the industry so far. Self directed, creative and humble. They were very supportive and I learned a lot from them.

Cons

I think the biggest con is the shaky product market fit, but if the team keeps at it something will stick. One important ingredient for the company to succeed would be to control data acquisition pipeline and not depend upon partners in the b2b spectrum as a sole mechanism.

Pros

I've worked at Sensibill for almost two years now and it has been such a refreshing experience. Everyone is working towards the same goal and that cohesiveness makes for a great working environment. I've worked at other places where people are playing politics games and trying to get ahead of each other but at Sensibill it's understood that the way we move forward is by doing what's best for the company and our clients. We also have some great talent and I feel like I can trust my peers skillsets but also I can trust that their intentions are for the best and they want to help each other and the company succeed. I also wanted to call out how impressed I am with the diversity at Sensibill. You will rarely see this company waving a flag about how diverse they are but they live it. We have people from all walks of life and representation from so many different cultures. But the most important thing is that Sensibill strives to empower each employee and encourage them to use their experience and bring their own ideas to the table.

Cons

Sensibill is a startup in a niche market. There's a lot of obstacles to overcome in the industry and limited resources and startup grinding can make things difficult. We have been expanding our product line which is great but after having had just one product for so long it takes time to build up the right momentum.
