Terrible Place To Work

Pros

Stipends for wellness, internet and phone. Unlimited PTO (just be sure you take it!) Giving work life balance 5 stars because I was told to do less work than the 40 hours I was doing after asking for a raise + citing fair market research country, state, city and industry wide.

Cons

99.9% of everything. I was told when I was hired that there would be bonus potential. That was a lie. My reviews weren’t based on fact, no actionable or measurable feedback on what I could do to improve the scores. While I voiced I didn’t agree, I nodded along and tried to show improvement then was belittled for watching my own back. CYA! The leadership has no formal training, mostly just promoted after a year with no developmental insight. (Literally I did most of one ‘manager’s’ job in the months leading up to their promotion while they made mistake after mistake.) They’ll ask you to do more work and if you stand up for yourself asking for a raise or bonus to take on additional responsibilities - you’ll be gaslit and threatened. My boss hated me because she couldn’t sway me into agreeing with her and her bad choices. Additionally, I wasn’t listened to and though I told my direct boss that certain types of behavior made me uncomfortable - she continued to do them, calling it a growth experience. Turnover is HIGH. They’ve also asked most of their employees to give the favorable reviews.

Pros

No jerks here! They hire very mindfully so everyone who is brought in is intelligent and kind - surprisingly low level of internal politics. They're really respectful of work-life balance and no one is micromanaged from what I can tell. They've adapted to all-remote workforce really well and allow for flexibility in schedules.

Cons

No 401k matching yet, but other perks more than make up for it and I hear it's being talked about by leadership. It's a startup with ambitious goals so everyone wears a few hats - don't expect to always have an SME to delegate a task or project to, you might need to spearhead it yourself.

Pros

* Everyone seems excited to work here and believes in the mission * Onboarding is very good for <100 employees * Engineering team driven to improve the technical stack * Not very meeting heavy for engineers (< 4 week unless in management) * Engineering ladder is well defined * Remote first * Leadership not hiding numbers on funding, revenue, etc.

Cons

* Operations department outrunning engineering leading to some manual debt that will be a challenge to remove.
