DO NOT GET A JOB HERE

Pros

Hours can be flexible (depending on your manager). Also, in an emergency, you can work from home. Catered lunch every day

Cons

Communication is horrible. Upper management is the worst. They make promises and say things they can't follow through on. They mislead their employees. They think that just because they have a "relaxed" environment and cater lunch every day, they can jip employees in every other aspect. Promotions don't make sense. Most of their actions don't make sense and they don't have facts to back up and support their actions either. I took a pay cut just to leave. It was a great company to work for before they came in.

Pros

Lots of snacks, weekly (or almost weekly) massages. Opportunities to share your opinion or concerns. Decent salary.

Cons

No freedom. You'll be working on shifts, changing every day. Even your lunch will have to be taken at specific time, which may change every day of the week. I usually ended up having lunch in front of my computer. Weekends and bank holidays at no additional pay and, of course, no way to avoid them (company gives the option to swap some shifts or days with other employees, but who's going to swap your weekend? .... Exactly). My main concern was that feeling that I was involved in some type of scam. The company is totally legit, no direct scam being done, but it made it so easy for users to start their campaign and raise funds, while so difficult to have them withdraw the raised funds... Actually it was my friends and family that were first concerned that I was involved in some scam company, because that's how it appeared on the national news. Gofundme allows for fake campaigns to start and raise funds, and they're not always caught on time. Most employees seem to be brainwashed. Always happy, always shiny and boot licking senior employees and managers. You'll hear the most friendly words one day, while on your back they'll be stabbing you. If you got the job after all the interviews, most likely they think you're the same (if you're not, you won't fit in and will end up quitting). Last but not least, soon after I was hired, our manager asked us to add a good review in glassdoor 'to get more talent interested' or so. You'll find lots of 5-star reviews here that say it's all good and so on, but they don't give any details. Yes, that's what we were expected to write. I take this opportunity to speak up, now that I'm out and at a much better company with more sense of reality.

Changing the Way the World Gives.

Pros

GoFundMe is easily the most exciting, fun, and world-changing job I've ever had. Not only does this place have a great vibe, but every day that I walk in, I know we truly are "changing the way the world gives" in such a positive way. My interactions with my co-workers and customers alike are meaningful - everyone pushes each other to do better, think quicker, and encourage discussion from the CEO to a new hire.

Cons

GoFundMe is growing at an insane rate. As such, we are having some growing pains. We are currently working hard to increase our headcount as quickly as possible to better help our users, as well as make things easier for everyone within the company. It's not really a "con," but just know that you'll be working hard, a lot, and it'll be worth it with all the room for growth into other positions that are quickly becoming available. But hey, that also means great overtime pay!
