Pros
As with most smaller companies the best thing about Curalate is it’s people. Most are driven, bright, and genuinely fun (if not trending on the young side). For the most part the company encourages experimentation and selecting the right tool for the job with minimal barriers. There’s a lot of good tech and while there is lots of technical debt it’s activley addressed
Cons
Company has stagnated with no real product vision or direction. Most of the top people are leaving in droves and a lot of the work is “keep the lights on” stuff. The staff skews heavily junior now, many being new college grads with little to no experience. Morale is low and what used to be driven, excited people are now lackluster and sloppy. Nobody can really say for sure what Curalate is. Is it an Ecomm platform? Is it product discovery? Is it social media analytics? It’s sort of all and nothing at once Many positions lack any career ladder (except for some who play political games). For the most part there are no upward titles or positions to move into.
