LegitScript reviews about "manager"

Company Culture: I have worked under several phases of evolving management, and while there are definite areas for improvement as the company grows, I do appreciate the efforts being made to ensure our working environment is congenial, full of people who are tremendously talented but also passionate about what we do and where we are headed. Office life is tricky. I understand that it's no easy task to strike the balance necessary to keep employees engaged without the oft-repeated company values seeming cheesy and disingenuous. Admittedly, I've heard our buzzwords (awesome, invested, thoughtful, open) frequently enough that I avoid using them in casual conversation. With that said, I can't overemphasize how far this company has come since I first started. The general atmosphere — transparency, how colleagues interact, leadership attitude — has greatly benefited from having defined core values. The recent reorganization of upper management, in particular, has me really pumped for the future of LegitScript because it shows that the people at the top aren't selling us empty promises about company culture. I really believe they are committed to change for the better. We have a new COO, who is kind and experienced, thereby allowing our former COO (who was doing the job of two) to move into more of a strategic planning role. Additionally, we have a product manager, a brand new position within the company, and the sharp individual selected to assume this role has already brought a much-welcomed sense of organization and objectivity to internal operations. There have been periods of doubt as we've struggled to adapt our culture alongside program expansion. Even though I'm sure there are going to be more obstacles, the support that analysts have now is stronger than ever before, and I have confidence overall in those who are spearheading the direction forward. The People: I love the people here. I'm grateful to work with such a diverse group of highly skilled, good humored people. Some are intense and outgoing, others more shy and reserved, but they are all SO SMART and care about making the internet a safer place. The Work: Our work requires curiosity and creativity. It can be demanding. Above all, it is rewarding. We find the illegal and/or risky online activity, report it to our clients, and go home knowing we have done our part to help. Perks: Free snacks (both healthy and less so, on the daily), a friendly barista, dogs in the office (all whom I've found to be well-behaved with minimal to no borking), attentive IT coworkers and engineers, tons of natural light, dishwashers and ample air conditioning and central heating (call me too Portland but this seems like a big deal to me), sit-to-stand desks, WFH options, health and vision insurance, 401k plans, plus tiered additional perks that increase with employment longevity (e.g., local business gift cards).

Aside from the peripheral perks — solid benefits, free barista bar, dog-friendly — the real benefits of working at LegitScript include the work itself and the pool of talented employees we get to collaborate with every day. This is one of few jobs in which I feel as if I'm actually making a meaningful difference in the world. The company offers a variety of different services depending on the type of client, but they all effectively help rid the internet of illegal and dangerous products — mostly drugs, but also things like illegal adult content, weapons, scams, and more. We get to see the results of our efforts when rogue online pharmacies selling dangerous and counterfeit drugs get taken down. It's rewarding work. LegitScript is very intentional about the people they hire, which is evident as soon as you start working here. Folks are smart, hard workers, and collaborative. We have employees from a couple dozen different countries, which gives the office an international feel. My experience is that the employees are generally thoughtful, introspective, and affable. You may not agree with the importance the company places on culture fit, but I personally appreciate the friendly, low-drama office environment that it has fostered. My impression of leadership does not jibe at all with those who have had negative interactions. I've experienced senior level managers to be generally thoughtful, open, and authentic — all of the traits they seek to find in their hires. I can't speak for every interaction with every member of leadership, but my sense is that comments of dissatisfaction are outliers.
