Pros
-Team Members are supportive, kind, and push me beyond what I thought I could do. I feel supported across each milestone I approach. When I think "I can't do this," I hear "yes you can, and we'll help you get there." Truly a team-centric culture, through and through–at all levels, tenures, and parts of the org. It doesn’t feel hierarchical, and I don’t need to go through layers of folks to connect with an exec. There is an openness, a willingness, and a shared humanity here.
-The Mission: We are working at a company that is actively helping people *invest in themselves* during one of the most difficult periods of this generation. We are helping people form healthy habits, not based on an algorithm. I can high five folks in classes that I might never have connected with in real life (or online), feel moved by songs and genres I might never have listened to, and hear empowering messages of self love that I might never have absorbed otherwise. We get to work on this product and show people that they are worth investing in. We make it fun, we make it accessible, we make it inclusive, and we make it for the benefit of all—not for the benefit of advertisers.
-DEI: The Peloton Pledge and our commitment to being an antiracist organization. I see this work happening internally every day with our programs and policies, I see it reflected in our content, and I see it reflected in our partnerships and how we invest in our communities. Also, as a trans person, I am feel extremely “seen” and supported.
-Benefits: they are the best benefits I’ve ever had. 401K match, Carrot fertility that covers a significant amount, comprehensive healthcare—including mental health and trans benefits
Cons
-the pace is intense but I see leadership actively working on it
-typical growing pains of being a company that is not quite a start up and not quite a mature organization. we're in puberty and it feels uncomfortable!
