Dispensable employees lay-offs always feel like they’re on the horizon
Pros
- Majority of the people are people you are proud to know. I’ve made friends with some of my co-workers and truly enjoy time spent with them. - overall pay is reasonable coming in, but impossible to get pay raises or promotions so actually a negative - benefits are good: unlimited PTO, very affordable healthcare for families
Cons
- start-up culture where there are “untouchables” - senior management claims “transparency” but they never disclose financial hardships - everything is “great” (but lay-offs always feel imminent) - no job security, you’re easily replaceable - limited processes and standards - promotions are not based on performance or merit but completely political - no industry visibility, unknown company - no matching contributions - production issues, so in sales there are delays - ppl in the sales org generally are never “OOO”, someone is always pinging you - based in such a bad area in downtown Seattle, it is not safe
