Coworkers and peers are friendly

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. When it comes to reviews on our Glassdoor page, we have designated leadership from each department who focuses specifically on relaying feedback internally. However, when it comes to anonymous reviews, we find it quite difficult to take specific action, as generalizing and implying that every manager within our organization is disengaged, and disinterested in overall peer growth, would be inaccurate. While we disagree that we take responses personally, we do take them seriously. We value all feedback that is posted here, and I encourage you to reach out to me directly so we can discuss some of your concerns further.

Pros

Cool office & perks, unlimited PTO.

Cons

My manager ultimately stabbed me in the back. Being a recruiter here is a trap. No one has your back, your are just an order taker and every stakeholder has unrealistic and unfair expectations. The founders have their hand in the entire recruiting process and it makes it so unbelievably hard. They want top talent but have not top talent pay. They are not flexible on RTO so good luck.
