Pros

The work culture is fantastic, you won't meet a mean boss or badmouthing employee during your entire tenure here. The work/life balance is incredible, paid time off is abundant. And there's plenty of opportunities to hang with coworkers and network. Justin (CEO) is great. Plenty of training budget and internal opportunities for growth are plenty.

Cons

You pay for that great work life balance with pretty subpar compensation. Salary is lower than you'll find even at other dating apps. Bonuses are lower, and stock grants are lower. Many of this supposedly has to do with the parent organization, Match Group.

Pros

Great benefits and awesome people who are passionate about the company's mission and the work they're doing

Cons

Major "drink the kool-aid" kind of culture. Once you stop drinking it, you realize that everything is a mess. Everyone is so overworked, people don't trust leadership, and burnout is inescapable.

Pros

Really cool & existing product and amazing perks & benefits. Great office environment. People are clearly motivated by the company’s mission and they care about the product. People are also nice and friendly - always willing to help.

Cons

It starts off great but it will go downhill rather quickly. There is no clear structure or organization behind the scenes and most leaders are inexperienced folks that have been at the company for years and have gotten promoted too quickly, and premature promotions continue to happen. That said, it is mainly the leaders of the company that make the employee experience rather negative and toxic. Leaders will gaslight you, lie, and provide you with empty promises. Favoritism is very prominent and it will become very obvious. Leaders also enforce unfair business practices within teams and no interest in hearing feedback, it’s very much their way or the highway. They are very much just trying to keep up appearances and do minimal work, rather than prioritizing the needs of their team. People are leaving left and right, while still hiring for many roles and it’s clear they are scrambling to figure things out. All of this, in addition to below market pay, is not worth the toll this environment will take on your mental health.
