Pros
- Great work life balance: Managers also make work life balance a priority and are supportive, unlimited PTO was super nice and we were encouraged to take time off - Benefits were great: Really good paid time off for maternity/paternity leave + co-workers are ready to help with coverage, lunches in office were really good - Equity package was competitive - Overall, people were nice and friendly, I just think lack of training, resources, and talent made it hard for internal teams to successfully collaborate
Cons
- Senior Management felt unorganized at times: lots of turnover with senior leadership and it often felt like the company made major decisions on a whim - Management gives ZERO feedback on performance: no constructive feedback was ever given to me personally, even when asked - Performance tracking was a nightmare (same for variable compensation): our quarterly targets/ variable comp changed EVERY SINGLE quarter I was at Carta. It was extremely hard to feel successful in the role - Training sucked: I felt like I had no idea how to do a lot of my job even after 6mo in the role. Training was a lot of outdated videos and minimal 1-1 instruction from actual teammates who knew what they were doing
