Pros

I’ve worked at tech companies large and small - including some with renowned cultures - and can honestly say that Lyric is up there with the best of them. I love working here because: 1. The team is diverse and we have a lot of fun (happy hours, offsites, animated gifs and emojis galore). We’ve got people from all walks of life and are bringing more and more super talented teammates onboard every day. 2. Our customers already love our "Creative Suites" and we have so many opportunities to make their experience even better. 3. In order to deliver truly delightful and personalized experiences to our guests in a scalable and profitable way, we’re working on lots of hard problems and building a ton of interesting technology. 4. The market opportunity is huge and we’re growing like gangbusters (month-over-month growth is in the double digit percentages). 5. There’s a ton of transparency, particularly in terms of our performance (far more than I’ve seen at prior companies). This also allows us to get more stuff done, faster. 6. Our CEO, Andrew, is one of the most empathetic, inspirational and energetic CEOs I've ever encountered. With the way we’re growing, the team we're building, the quality of our products and everything that’s on the horizon, it truly feels like we have the opportunity to re-define the home-away-from-home experience for millions of people.

Cons

There were a couple of areas in the company with inexperienced managers that resulted in some unhappy people. However, this has now been addressed, enabling great new leaders to take their place.

Because we are defining a new category in the industry, and moving very quickly, it can be challenging to keep up. Lots of exciting opportunity comes with this con too.

Pros

If you want to work an environment that will push you to do your best work, join Lyric. It all starts with the co-founders. They not only care about building an amazing product and brand, they also care about building an amazing team and culture. We are building a lot, so you'll never have a dull moment here. We are building innovative software products -- from dynamic pricing algorithms to remote hospitality tools -- and we are designing a whole new category in the travel industry. We have literally created a new inventory type for the modern traveler called the Creative Suite. I have had the good fortune of being here since nearly the start, and I am just so blown away by the trajectory of this company. Be prepared to hustle, to be inspired, to work alongside top talent, and to really take pride in your work. Also, there are some great work perks, like an education stipend and a fitness stipend. I highly recommend working here, and this is coming from someone who has been in-house at other startups, who has worked with startups from the agency side, and who has seen startups from the VC perspective. This is a special place.

Cons

You have to be a self-starter sometimes. We are tackling a lot. But, to me, that's ultimately an asset.
