Pros

The culture at yardzen is one that always pushes you to be better, but no matter what the challenge is - you always feel supported along the way. The whole team believes in you and will support you. There is a lot of recognition company wide for accomplishes and kudos. There is always more work to be done but I never feel micromanaged or told to stick to a cookie cutter process. Employees are urged to innovate and suggest improvement across all parts of the company. Aside from work life, the people team does fun optional in person events as well as a lot of virtual team building events that the employees love. The people are what make this place so great and that we are building something that is impacting the planet. The founding members are a great team and work hard to stay involved each and every day. They are always accessible to anyone.

Cons

Definitely you need to be a go-getter to succeed at Yardzen.

Pros

Great place to work. It’s a startup so expect to work hard and have your role evolve as the business evolves. I work with highly talented people that I am able to learn from each day. The owners are approachable and kind. They are working hard to ensure their business succeeds.

Cons

Thins can be chaotic but these are uncertain times and everyone is working hard!

Pros

They are a remote-first company and have great benefits

Cons

Work-life balance is virtually nonexistent. Employees are expected to wear multiple hats, but the expectation goes far beyond normal startup culture. Taking on additional responsibilities is treated as the baseline, and those who question the workload or push back are often made to feel like they are not committed enough. The company lacks basic structure, clear ownership, and effective processes. Despite ongoing operational issues, there is little willingness to implement feedback or make meaningful improvements. Teams are often left wondering why projects are stalled when the underlying problems have been identified repeatedly. Leadership frequently changes direction with little warning, making it difficult to execute any long-term strategy. Teams can spend days or weeks working on projects only to have priorities suddenly shift and their work discarded. This creates a cycle of wasted effort, frustration, and low morale. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic. Instead of following a clear plan, priorities can change based on the moment, leaving employees constantly adjusting to the latest pivot. Hiring, promotion, and workforce decisions lack transparency and consistency. The company has, at times, lost employees who were critical to the success of the business, while retaining or elevating individuals whose contributions were less clear. This has contributed to turnover, knowledge loss, and declining confidence in leadership. Overall, the company talks about growth and innovation, but the lack of structure, process, planning, and stable leadership makes it difficult for employees and teams to succeed.
