Dishonest and unethical

Pros

The co-workers are nice. The product has potential.

Cons

Management lied to me and others countless times. They drove us to work overtime without respect for our well-being. When I voiced concerns, I was excluded, bullied, belittled, and ignored. This place is a sham and will not hesitate to harm you if it is convenient. From one decent person to the next, please don't work here.

Pros

Super nice, diverse, smart co-workers. Many are earnest and passionate lovers of the product and the fitness space overall. Lots of solid hires make for great sharing and ideas. They only require local employees to go into the office 1 day a week. This is much appreciated by those who loathe commuting.

Cons

I don't have an axe to grind. Just some constructive feedback from a long-time employee saddened to see a promising startup mismanaged . I hope the Founders and Board read this and take a moment of self-reflection. A few years ago Tempo was sitting on a pile of VC funds and arrogantly burned through much of it with capricious decisions and avoidable missteps. The Board expects to maintain a 24 month "cash runway". So whenever they bump up against the 24 months, they slash payroll. Every RIF gets Tempo back on the right side of the cash runway ... but only for a while. They demand growth, but the continuous RIFs leave them with limited staff to support the workload. Plus those remaining become less invested, more bitter and increasingly checked out. It kills morale to know you're on borrowed time. Tempo's cash management approach is destructive and unsustainable.

Pros

Most of the people there were great. Lots of work to be done, good place to cut your teeth and get experience

Cons

Frequent layoffs, stressful culture. Founders have no idea what they’re doing and CTO is especially unpleasant
