Pros

The remote culture is truly great; Loom is poised to be a leader in this space. Strong growth. Users love the product. Kind and talented teammates all over the world. Empathetic and sensible CEO.

Cons

Engineering team seems more chaotic than most, likely due to many different initiatives running at once. Unclear career advancement opportunities for most. Benefits are good but compensation should be improved relative to similar companies.

Pros

Love the product. It's so simple to use and has so many use cases. The founders and the leadership team are thoughtful folks who are keen on doing the right thing. The team is great, good sense of humor, very friendly, diverse backgrounds Best thing that I like is remote first culture and flexibility to work from home. It's definitely helped me keep a good work life balance. There are so many other benefits including remote week every other month, yearly offsite (2020 was in Barbados), gym reimbursement up to a certain $ limit, commuter benefits, health plan. In fact I was surprised that Loom is able to match the big companies in terms of benefits and excel some of the big companies in terms of flexibility and remote culture. I believe, the future is remote and the future is Loom. We are growing at a rapid pace, so come and check us out.

Cons

As with any start up, there is some ambiguity and growing pain. It's not a con exactly but something to know

Hi, This is Vinay (one of the co-founders and the head of engineering). Thank you so much for the positive review. For the ambiguity, I definitely agree that it can be a bit much at times. I believe this problem is personally on me and it's one we're fighting against by (finally) hiring product managers. When Joe and I started the company, we ended up doing a lot of ad-hoc project and product management together for each initiative, which was fine up until about 6 employees. Now that we're at 33, that has quickly shown to not scale. We hired a full-time project manager but are realizing we need fully dedicated product managers as well. We're currently hiring for a few, so we'd love any referrals you may have who you think would align with where Loom is going! Either way, whoever this was, I really appreciate your feedback and review and apologize for any friction/pressure the ambiguity may have caused at the time. Vinay
