Core values sound great but couldn't be farther from the truth.

Pros
Competitive salary and decent benefits. The company matches contributions to your HSA if you choose the high-deductible health plan. Technically, there is unlimited PTO.
Cons
They have created a culture that makes you feel like you are never enough, reinforcing it with constant firings. I witnessed 13 firings in less than a year, primarily for "underperforming". Several were within the first six months of their employment. It is a small team with a high turnover rate. There is no education for onboarding employees. They don't teach you about the product, the services offered, or the industry. When you ask for help or additional education, you receive responses such as, "Fake it till you make it" or "Make something up. Hopefully, the client will forget if you are wrong." The commission isn't earned until you exceed your YEARLY goal, with top performers earning between $7,000-$9,000 per year. They say there is potential for growth but don't tell you upfront that they have a rule saying you can't even be considered for a promotion or lateral move until you have been in your role for a year.

Pros
I've been working at Lively for a few months now, and I've felt like a valued team member since day one. The company culture is truly amazing, and I was able to quickly ramp up into my role on the Product team. I transitioned from another APM role at a different company ISO an organization with strong Product leads and tons of opportunities to learn -- I hit the jackpot! Everyone is very driven and hardworking, yet humble and kind. I could ask a question to a random team member I've never met and they will always be willing to help. The company and the Lively platform really screams people-centric. Some additional highlights are: - Pay is competitive - Many roles are remote-friendly - Culture is fun and lighthearted - Everyone works hard and is motivated by their work - Flexibility with work; no micromanaging here
Cons
- No 401k matching - Engineering resources are tight
