Pros

Great benefits, decent pay, flexible PTO

Cons

6 months ago I would not be writing this review but things at loom have gone downhill so fast in such a short amount of time. Echoing what another reviewer said in that the founders have to have their hand in EVERYTHING. It’s so bad that leadership can’t get work done because they’re constantly waiting for approval from the founders. This inevitably trickles down to the rest of the company to the point where we all need approval for a minuscule task…and I’m talking MINUSCULE. Plain and simple, people aren’t trusted to do the job they were hired to do. There’s absolutely zero autonomy because the leadership team has no say in the decision making. Why hire VP’s if you don’t give them the trust and authority to run their teams how they see fit? Ego’s are big, the leadership team routinely talks crap about other members on the leadership team. For a communication product, there’s no communication across the company. People fight over projects, or even worse, work on the same projects without discussing it so double work is being done. They buy gifts for everyone to try to avoid fixing real issues within the company. Ice cream is great n all, but that doesn’t mitigate the fact that Loom has BIG problems and buying gifts will not solve them. They fire people without warning. Long time employees are leaving. The culture is nonexistent. The list goes on.

Pros

Good benefits and remote work friendly

Cons

It used to be a good place to work, but things have drastically changed in the last six months. Egos abound in this place. Only the chosen ones get projects, promotions and raises. For the non-chosen ones there is always an oversight, excuse or a deliberate poor review to avoid giving them a raise. The CEO and CTO have to have their hands in everything! There is a lot of talk about company value and culture, but that's all it is- talk. The only culture is to spend your entire day in meetings and spend weekend doing your work. You can work on something for days or weeks and then all of a sudden the CEO will change his mind and would want things done his way even if it doesn't make sense. Sometimes within the company there is over sharing but most times there is little or no communication.

Pros

The perks and pay are pretty great and the culture seems pretty friendly and inviting at first.

Cons

Promotes a work when you want/work where you want culture, but that is certainly not the reality. You are watched constantly and even slightly hitting below metrics or leaving to do essential things will get you written up. When it comes to quarterly reviews, everything changes. No longer will the long hours, viable projects, and above-average metrics be good enough. They say you are doing great and amazing at the team meetings; only to give you average or barely making it in your review, which is what actually matters.
