Pros

Terrific benefits and compensation, entrepreneurial environment, mission-driven, best-in-class product, technology teams

Cons

Ambiguity that comes with a growing/changing organization, manages multiple, sometimes conflicting priorities that can lead to challenges for individual contributors.

Pros

There are a lot of wonderful and smart individuals that work here, that truly believe in the mission and want to make a positive impact on the world. Benefits are good, includes unlimited PTO. Pay is not competitive, IMO.

Cons

Depending on what team you’re on, the cons will vary. The sales team in the past has lacked effective leadership, and has had multiple re-organizations in the last couple years to address this. For the BDR role, there is simply no growth, and it was a full time job in and of itself making sure we were paid our commission on time. In general, internal movement within the company is not realistic for 95% of employees. The transfer and promotion processes are not well structured, and are not created to help individuals grow. The recruitment process has improved, but when I was hired on in May 2021, my recruiter told me the wrong salary amount in my initial interview as well as my verbal offer. When the written offer letter was sent over, I questioned the salary amount as it was significantly less than what had been communicated, and turns out, the amount given to me was never correct and the recruiter did not notice until I had brought it up. The list could go on, but in general, this company lacks the ability to take critical feedback (specifically from individual contributors) on how to improve and fails to make individuals feel valued. There is also a SERIOUS lack of diversity in leadership roles that needs to be addressed.

Pros

Commitment to mission and vision overall at the company. Great benefits and pay. Very smart, fun people to work with. Cool office in downtown LA for those based in Los Angeles, with flexible hybrid schedule and work hours. Great for parents. Best in class free bachelor/grad degrees through InStride's StepForward program.

Cons

Company is still working to streamline meetings. Could have more free lunches!
