Good company, poor leadership

Pros

+ Liberal remote work policy + Flexible and understanding people + Respect for work / life balance + Benefits packages + "Unlimited" time off

Cons

- No 401k matching - "Unlimited" time off - Lots of hyper-growing pains - Very poor, inexperienced leadership - Pay attention to the unnatural increase in positive reviews during the month of September 2021. This was in direct response to the CEO begging for positive reviews at an all-hands meeting, and the people close to him complying. There is a stark contrast between the reviews prior to this, and have skewed the current ratings to his direct benefit.

Pros

• Really fun and engaging engineering problems to work on • Great collaborative engineering environment. Can always ask anyone for help with anything you are working on. Have been able to learn a lot here because of the free information exchange between engineering teams. • Great benefits. They recently improved them as well. They were always good, but I am optimistic they will only keep getting better (talking medical/dental/vision here) • The daily lunch allowance they give us is my love language • Most flexible job I have ever had. As long as I go to the meetings I am supposed to, I feel completely free to get my work done at the times that are the most convenient for me. • Great remote culture. I feel like I know more coworkers better than at my last in office job because of the ways the help us stay engaged remotely. • Competitive compensation packages • I truly feel a connection to the company mission and feel like I am making an impact. There are just a lot of cool problems people are trying to solve and Labelbox is a tool that can help them solve it.

Cons

• No 401k match at this time. • Some higher up leadership roles have been vacant for a while which has been hard. They are working on filling them with the right people though, which I appreciate. • Normal start up growing pains as you have to bring a lot of people on and get them contributing quickly.

Pros

-We're starting to really accelerate customer usage and adoption. Some much anticipated features are finally shipping and may unleash new growth -Surprisingly great logo wins in the Fortune 500. Very impressive for a company just 3 years old. -Young-ish founding team has less patience for inefficiency and embraces productivity tools like ProductBoard, Slack, Asana, etc... -The people at Labelbox are all quite nice -Surprisingly diverse leaders throughout the org. We have women running customer success, women in key roles in our legal, marketing, and more. -Surprisingly well run remote onboarding program, and great remote work setup -Comp is quite good, and the company lets you expense $20 lunch during the pandemic. I've been through my share of weird team shifts and crushing workloads at Labelbox, but that's the startup life. If I wanted a chill but boring life I would just go over to an established company. I think some of the negative reviews in Glassdoor have some merit but life here isn't as bad as they make it out to be. I've been at a toxic company before and this one is far from it. The people are actually quite well intentioned, and maybe there is some immature leadership but it's not all that bad. I think a lot of Labelbox's sad days are behind it. We've gotten past a lot of tough moments where the product was buggy, customers were ticked off, COVID pandemic was crushing everyone, etc.... Now there's light at the end of the tunnel. Things are getting better by the week.

Cons

-Engineering practice seems somewhat less developed here... We have had some very pesky bugs persist for a while, and some engineering and PM folks have left or were let go. Things seem to be improving, but it has been a bumpy ride. -Labelbox decided to pay market rate depending on where you live, so if you move to a lower-cost town you get paid based on that town's going rate for your role. It's a penny smart dollar foolish move (good talent will leave for pay nearer to the top of market), but most companies adjust pay down based on region. It would be better if you could get SF pay while living in a cheaper region. Equal work, equal pay right?
