Pros

The benefits are decent, and the option to work remotely is nice.

Cons

It has been observed that the organization's leadership is not open to valid concerns about unsound data and statistics, or any criticism from employees who hold them accountable. This is because they manipulate the data to obtain promotions and pay hikes for themselves. They can and will fire or let go of anyone in a role with the potential to balance the power dynamic. Recently, the company has opened an office in Mexico and hired around 20 people from there. However, they also laid off 19 employees, including 2 MXC employees who were hired less than a month ago, while still continuing to hire. The CEO acknowledged the fault of their leadership decisions during the first round of layoffs. However, the CEO then proceeded to go on a 7-week global vacation immediately and bragged about it. It was obvious that the CEO did not pay for his own mistakes, but rather the livelihood of many employees and the culture of the company were affected. This organization appears to be run by a privileged group of individuals who only care about their own financial gains, and are not people-first despite claiming to be. Almost everyone who made the culture tolerable was included in layoffs. The product's downward trend can be attributed to the outdated ideas of the leadership. They are insisting on incorporating irrelevant features, such as a social aspect while ignoring the market demand for a more accessible and technically sound app that functions effectively. They manipulate data to avoid accountability or blame employees.

Pros

First and foremost, I have never worked somewhere with such a genuine, kind, and respectful culture. Everyone is treated with respect and there is such an emphasis on its people. We recognize the work we do is important to our users and each other but it is not our life. I've never had a healthier work/life balance or felt as cared about by my manager and colleagues. I've worked at other companies where so many great ideas were met with resistance because of leadership egos or who they came from. But my experience at Fetch has been that people wrestle with ideas, not people and that great ideas win out...no matter where they come from (and those people are recognized, not just their managers)! It is exciting work because so much of it is uncharted territory and opportunities for innovation is a constant.

Cons

It has improved significantly since I've been here but not all of the different departments collaborate for their shared goals and can sometimes get in the way of one another.
