Pros

- there are some talented folks who work here. I had a great experience learning from my peers. - I'm new to a career in tech. I faced little judgement for being inexperienced and not knowing a whole lot. - was given lots of autonomy to figure out how to make things work; wasn't coddled or micromanaged by leadership. - my direct manager was awesome, and so was the previous manager I had. It seems like this company has a knack for hiring great "people managers" into middle management roles - hours are flexible, fully remote - I'm not sure how diverse this company is compared to others, but I appreciate that I was never once attacked for my race, sexual orientation, appearance, or background.

Cons

- this company is not going to last another year. there have been four layoffs in the past year, and funding is so tight. if by chance work opportunities open up, please consider that it will most likely not be a long term employment arrangement. - layoffs suck here. they are extremely poorly managed. I was given no time to even say goodbye to everyone on slack - my account was deactivated within 15 minutes of being told I was being laid off. I know layoffs are a reality in the startup world but I'd love to at least keep my email and slack around for a bit since I may need to correspond with HR and get my coworkers' contact info. - upper management had seemingly little ability to communicate vision and direction to middle managers and individual contributors. The continued focus on virtual kitchens after the pandemic calmed down always felt like a losing investment to me - yet the company never explained why this continued to be a priority over other potential ventures. - staff was predominated by people who - while very smart and capable of figuring anything out - had little in the way of experience in the product domain.

They will lay you off

Pros

Had a good culture Good benefits Remote work

Cons

They will lay you off and repost your job opening a few months later. Laid off 20% of staff with no warning. Seemed to be a disproportionate amount of women as well. Loved to talk about diversity in hiring until it came time to lay people off.

We’re glad you enjoyed the Nextbite culture and benefits in your tenure. It’s been a tough year for many tech companies and also startups of our size to make the difficult decision to lay off some of the staff. In determining roles impacted by the layoff, we utilized objective criteria across teams and departments. Unfortunately, when we change our business strategy it can affect who we are able to retain. Diversity has and continues to be important to us on every team across the company and in how we attract and retain talent. We’ve heard feedback that people wanted the time to say goodbye. When laying off in a remote environment, it can get complicated. There’s no break room or employee lounge to say goodbye. We’re hoping you were able to reach out to your colleagues in other ways and continue to stay in touch. -Alex Canter
