Pros

Unlimited PTO Snacks and drinks Hybrid work environment

Cons

Morale is extremely low and most teams are burnt out and in fear of losing their jobs. 80% of executive team was fired this summer then Tim came in as CEO Another round of layoffs 2 weeks before Thanksgiving + rumors of another in the next year Skeleton crew teams = do more for same pay Pay is also not market value no matter what people ops says Unclear initiatives, no one knows what’s going on except Tim. Insurance DOUBLED and expected no one to notice or comment

Pros

1) Snacks! (and free catered lunch/breakfast tacos though rumor has it those have been phased out). 2)The office is located in a great area, there are lots of shops/restaurants around but you're not downtown. 3)There are some cool people that work there 4) Benefits are great!! (but I had to knock off a couple stars for compensation because they change the metrics for it a bunch) 5) Casual start-up vibe with trendy office space and dogs 6) Orange theory passes and an emphasis on health as part of the culture

Cons

I've thought about this a lot and it seems like a lot of my cons are growing pains that come with being a startup- confusing over product, lack of communication and delays in products. What I think is a larger concern is there is not a real opportunity for advancement and those essential to the products are overworked/underpaid. If you're competent and there for a bit, you'll get a new role. However, that promotion will come with no guidance or job description and chances are you will still have all your old tasks on top of random new ones. There is no clear line for how you grow as an individual. When you address this concern with management they will tell you there is nothing they can do. There's a lot of ideas at the top level of this company, which is great, that's what start-ups are for, but there's a focus on progressing for the sake of it and not perfecting the current project that leaves those at the bottom scrambling and on the front line of fire from the customer. I've noticed a lot of the responses to other reviews have mentioned voicing concerns. Which is something I did but it fell on deaf ears. This is a great company to work for if you're entry level. You will learn a lot about how companies work very quickly but as it stands right now, this is not a place to grow.

Pros

The company is fully remote if you are not in South Carolina

Cons

Since the leadership change, the culture here has shifted significantly. Decision-making appears to be driven more by personal relationships with executives than by merit or performance. Several experienced and capable employees have been replaced by individuals with closer ties to leadership, often with less relevant experience. Opportunities for growth feel limited unless you’re in the inner circle, which can make it a frustrating environment for those who value fairness, accountability, and professional integrity.
