Pros

$12 a year health insurance. Most co-workers are amazing and try so hard to keep the ship both floating and moving in the right direction.

Cons

Inconsistent expectations of responsibilities across people in the same roles. Toxic positivity. Diversity and Inclusion efforts disappeared. Half the company doesn't know how the product works.

Pros

One of the most ambitious and competitive companies in Indiana. The work is very demanding and very rewarding. It is exciting to be working on a product that is improving the Customer eXperience and is able to compete with industry giants. Being a smaller, more nimble player is a very great asset at this time in the market. Get ready for an explosion! Lots of industry experts have joined our ranks. Flexible work schedule. West-coast feel. Great compensation and benefits. Health insurance premiums are completely covered... 100%! Cloud-first (cloud-only) allows for speed and scale. Great place for trailblazers. The company founders are very passionate. The "Sharpen" name may be young, but the core product and focus is mature and stable.

Cons

Occasional long hours. Headquartered downtown Indianapolis and parking is somewhat of a pain. Sharpen is a startup. Working on growth can be bumpy.
