Pros

You have the potential for a lot of impact within the company. The engineering team is small and you ship code fast. Unlimited PTO.

Cons

Limited Market Growth – The company operates in an oversaturated market, and many of its competitors have already established stronger offerings. This makes long-term growth and expansion difficult. Challenging Leadership Style – The CEO has an extremely hands-on approach, often micromanaging projects and placing intense pressure on employees to meet aggressive deadlines. Communication can be harsh, and there is little regard for individual experience levels when assigning complex tasks. Poor Work-Life Balance – Employees are often expected to work long hours, including late nights and weekends, to meet sprint goals that feel arbitrarily set. The work environment can be high-stress, with little flexibility or concern for burnout.

Pros

I wrote a 5 star review back in 2019 when I was at Etleap for just one year, and now that a few years have gone by I wanted to submit another review. I have now been at Etleap for over 4 years! The most exciting thing to me about my role is that I get to work cross-functionally with my peers in marketing, sales and engineering to create a super streamlined and efficient working environment. The collaboration here at Etleap stands out to me as one of our strongest core values - I see it lived out in everything we do; from our daily interactions, to our annual company off-sites, and everything in between. Being on the same page and being open with our communication is a priority for everyone on the team, which results in a very cohesive team who is always looking out for one another. Our leadership emphasizes openness and teamwork, which creates an empathetic, supportive, and truly fun work environment. We have daily company sponsored lunches, annual off-sites to places like Mexico, Costa Rica and Tahoe, paid health benefits, 401K options, and more. It's a great place to work.

Cons

Genuinely, I don't feel like there are any cons working at Etleap. The only con I can mention is the fact that hiring in San Francisco has become more difficult since the pandemic. It would be great to hire more people for our HQ office in San Francisco, which is one of our ongoing efforts as an operations team. We are always developing new and creative ways to connect with potential candidates.
