Not a very diverse workplace, does not receive feedback from staff well, their core values only apply for the senior staff, their culture only applies to senior staff, HR can be aggressive, I experienced racial micro-aggressions, uncomfortable place to work as a POC.

Pros

This is a great company if you are wanting to grow in skill, push yourself, and help actually build the company as they are expanding. They have some amazing events for the team, like a chocolate fountain with all the fixings for birthday and anniversaries celebration, holiday parties, and quarterly game nights. The office vibe is fun and open, not your typical cubical feel which is a nice change, though it can be loud sometimes. Lastly, I have to talk about the culture. The CEO, Amy is always around and will walk up and talk to you through the day, and these are genuine conversations which is so rare to find in companies now a days. There is also a vibe of family here, the team lives by the values when they are in building and truly care how you are doing or if you need help with things.

Cons

This business is so new that there is not a lot of structure yet for role clarity or a growth path, though it is known that this is being built. Training is also a bit unclear, no structure and is all learn on the fly for most roles.
