Pros

remote first, asynchronous communication, talented people to work with and learn from, is considerably well-known so makes your resume stand out sometimes. fast-paced so you're going to ship things all the time. good pay.

Cons

fire/layoff people for no reason, even if they had no complaints about their work and the company is doing well in terms of revenue. Single-threaded ownership is a joke in terms of the quality of what's delivered. Like Expedia said and Hopper's CEO reinforced, they like to explore the consumer's anxiety to sell. stressful, you can't do all you need to do within your working hours. code quality isn't great, things break all the time. (not the employee's fault, is the company's fault) same for product and design maturity, STO doesn't allow it to get better and more organized. if you have other better options, just look at the reviews here and compare them - unless you're looking for money only, you'll probably find something better and more balanced.

Pros

Overall, my experience as an employee at Hopper has been far from satisfactory. The laughable equity program, the lack of originality in policies, the questionable product offerings, and the arrogant leadership have left me disillusioned. I would caution anyone considering a career at Hopper to carefully evaluate their priorities and ambitions before joining a company that seems more interested in cost-cutting and imitation than in fostering a thriving and innovative work environment..

Cons

As a current employee at Hopper, I feel compelled to share my disappointments and frustrations regarding the company. While there are a few positives, such as the option to work from home (WFH), the cons heavily outweigh any benefits I have experienced. One of the major drawbacks of working at Hopper is the joke of an equity program. Despite promises of potential financial gains, employees are only allowed to vest a measly 3% of their vested shares. This lack of equity distribution significantly diminishes the incentives for employees to stay with the company and work towards its success. It seems that Hopper is more interested in hoarding the majority of the equity for themselves rather than rewarding their hardworking employees. Furthermore, it is disheartening to discover that Hopper's policies are essentially copied and pasted from Amazon. Originality and independent thinking are vital in the tech industry, yet Hopper seems content with mimicking the practices of a larger competitor. This lack of innovation raises concerns about the company's ability to stand out in a highly competitive market. Perhaps the most troubling aspect of Hopper is its major product, Price Freeze, which is nothing more than a scam. AI language model, such as ChatGPT, could easily replace this supposedly groundbreaking feature. It is disheartening to work for a company that relies on deceptive tactics to lure customers, rather than providing genuinely valuable and innovative solutions. Note : There are several pending lawsuits about this product
