Run away and do not look back

Pros

Great individual contributors and nice perks (vacation bonus, education stipend, and paid cell phone). Great work/life balance.

Cons

Product: MVP (emphasis on the minimum) even though it has been around for years. Half the company spends time figuring out how to keep people out of it (CS does whatever the client wants because it makes no sense) while the other half talks about improving it without making any headway. They just let most of the team go (most of Product and all of QA) and are now talking about how much the product will improve. Sales: there isn't much to sell, so they did the right thing and cut most of the team. Sales leadership is completely unqualified (they have no sales experience). Now the most talented reps (hint to recruiters: all the sales people they kept are very good and will need jobs soon) are under people that no nothing about what they do. Operations: non-existant, which is why this place will never improve. Marketing: there's a lot of competant people on this team, but there are also some mean girls that prefer to tear people down rather than work together.

Wasted Potential Due to Horrible Leadership

Pros

-Had the potential to create social impact -Good perks

Cons

This company had all of the makings to be a positive example for civic tech companies, but the deeply incompetent leadership ruined what was once a thriving startup. -POCs and women are not valued at the company. Don't let the diversity stats fool you. Exception of a small handful of people, the 48% of POCs held no leadership roles. -Pay inequity and uneven distribution of work between POC and white employees is rampant. POCs working more for less pay? Not a great look when you brag -The mass layoffs in November and January were totally avoidable. Employees pointed out problems in the business and product for months, but the CEO and his posse were too arrogant to care. OH and don't get me started on San Francisco's exorbitant spending habits. Kombucha on tap, fancy game machines, prime real estate office, and letting select "favored" employees spend reckessly on the company dime.
