Pros

•AlgaeCal is very intentional about creating a great company culture. They look for people who are smart, driven, and good with people. This creates a positive, healthy work environment. •The supplements AlgaeCal sells are backed by science. No other company can say their natural calcium supplements have been shown in clinical studies to actually *increase* bone density. These products really work, and they genuinely transform lives. So when you work at AlgaeCal, you can feel good about what you're selling.

Cons

•It would be nice if the company offered a healthcare package to its U.S. employees, but you can still get health insurance through the marketplace, so this isn't a "make or break" thing for most people. The lack of what Americans would consider standard employee benefits is the only reason I didn't rate the "Compensations & Benefits" category a 5/5. In general, AlgaeCal is a great place to work!

Pros

Great company culture. Caring individuals. Good work life balance. Good opportunities for advancement/learning.

Cons

It's hard me to receive a plan for my career as I have a unique role, but that's not really fault of the company per se.

Pros

I've met really great people there and it feels good to be helping people. Company trips are a lot of fun.

Cons

Extremely passive-aggressive leadership. Sometimes there is a toxic, almost cult-like feeling. You can make friends there but not because of the forced smiley, family feeling. Be warned that any gift you're given will be held against you later. Managers are promoted from within which seems good but realistically, they can be young and under-qualified.
