Pros

-Great place to get started if you’re new in your career (whether you’ve recently graduated college or transitioned away from teaching). Most people here are fairly junior-level compared to other companies -Great coworkers. Most of the people are really nice to work with -Work-life balance that you don’t see at other startups. Flexible schedules. -Decent benefits and unlimited PTO

Cons

-Inexperienced management. Most managers at Albert worked at the company long enough to be promoted to management but they have no management or leadership experience. Some teams have had bad, toxic managers. -The CEO is incompetent and should not run a company -High turnover. People constantly leave (quit, laid off, fired) and the CEO blames it on the wrong reasons instead of looking inward and at the leadership -Small company that’s not growing. You won’t be able to “climb the corporate ladder” here. “Promotions” are usually just title changes and are given if you work here long enough (or based on favoritism) -No pro development, career growth, or mentorship -They claim to be receptive of feedback but they ignore it or hold it against you -Albert has not been profitable in its entire existence and probably never will be -Disorganized systems and processes -Low salaries

Pros

- WLB is the best I’ve ever seen at any company - half day fridays, real unlimited PTO, management strongly encourages you to not work too much - Fully remote flexibility - Coworkers are all very nice, down to earth people. No big egos, no competition, everyone is rooting your you to succeed here

Cons

- Old codebase with lots of tech debt - Revolving door with spotty tech talent means that some initiatives that should have taken a quarter have lasted years - there can be weird politics between newcomers and some of the more tenured employees - management playing favorites is common - company growth is almost nonexistent - leaving to a more competitive company can feel like whiplash
