Pros

- Cool work space - currently in a coworking spot in Wash Park. - Free coffee, nitro cold brew and kombucha - Fast-paced tech environment - Startup company - get in on the ground floor

Cons

- No work-life balance. The CEO said verbatim in a company-wide meeting, "I do not believe in work-life balance. It's all just life." - Bad people management - Misleading job descriptions and job titles - Boy's Club culture - if you're not in, you're out. - No diversity, especially in management - Chief people Officer has zero HR experience and no tact or respect when speaking to people - Unlimited PTO is not really unlimited - Meetings are constantly canceled at the last minute OR after the start - No respect for anyone's time.

We love our workspace too! The office environment is very fun, and the work, as you mentioned, is very fast-paced and can be demanding at times, especially as we are breaking into and helping define a new industry. We know the startup world isn’t for everyone. There is a lot of ambiguity, not a lot of processes in place, last-minute changes to meetings and other plans, and it can mean that people have to work after hours to meet deadlines. Working in a startup environment can also mean that we have limited resources, which is where our collaborative and supportive team members come into play — we all pitch in to help other departments, even if it means working outside of our typical day-to-day or job description. We are making strides in our diversity efforts and our leaders are focused on and committed to creating a more diverse workforce.

The startup world can be stressful and demanding, but with it comes potential for high reward. With all of our Team Members being partners in the company through our equity program the hard work could really pay off in the long run!

Pros

Being on the right team makes it easy to thrive—even if it’s just by bonding over the chaos and dysfunction unfolding around you. Sometimes, the shared experience of navigating a complete dumpster fire is what truly brings a team together.

Cons

The C-suite’s focus appears to be more on selling the company than on fostering long-term growth or building a sustainable business. This is reflected in the ongoing reliance on a 'start-up' mentality, even after a decade in business, instead of adopting a more mature, strategic approach to operations. While the narrative around 'equity benefits' is often emphasized (and used as a substitute for pay increases), the reality is that the only true beneficiaries of a sale will be the shareholders and the executive team. Meanwhile, staff are left to navigate the ongoing challenges created by constant pivots and a disjointed—or often nonexistent—business strategy. This ongoing instability reflects a lack of focus, care, and maturity from the executive leadership.
