Pros

1) Flexible PTO 2) Ton of experience in working with modern tech stack 3) Hybrid work and great team members

Cons

1) The data/analytics engineering team is run by the leads who are recent college graduates (1-2 yrs) with no managing experience 2) The pay for as data/analytics engineer is only < $100k which is very less compared to the other competitors which this amount of tech stack experience 3) The manager/lead always asks for innovation during the 1-1 meet and says it's a red flag. What am I suppose to invent? As an engineer, I am working on multiple modern tech stack to solve the problems. If I am innovative I would have created my own product and start a company 4) The stocks are really worth less (Very less stocks are granted and the stock value) 5) No bonuses

Thanks for leaving a review and sharing your experience. Your lead's emphasis on innovation is probably grounded in our commitment to ensuring that everyone knows they're encouraged to try new ideas and bring creative solutions to the table. You don't have to come up with the next billion-dollar company for your ideas to be impactful, so I hope that you'll share innovative ideas that cross your mind for improving workflows, adding new features to the app, and getting work done more efficiently. I see that you're a current employee; I hope you'll reach out to me to share more about your experience. Rachel Olchowka, Chief People Officer

Pros

Fast Paced, amazing people and culture, transparency, rapid growth, unique consumer value prop, strong company purpose, FUN.

Cons

Fast paced. :) Good and bad. Fast growing start up, so have to be able to keep up with the pace, be agile, collaborative, resourceful, problem solve. If you can do that, it's great.

Pros

Good benefits, great pto policy, great rewards system, on paper the company looks great

Cons

-incompetent leadership (not all, but a good portion) -bait and switch style hire process -they don't have solid direction on where they are headed so it's a lot of top-down confusion -leaders have heads in the clouds but don't know how the tactical things happen, so there are two different realities amongst execs and the lower level employees doing the work -pay comparisons are questionable -microaggressions, bullying, and bias run rampant as it's not much diversity -absolutely no one knows who does what, so you will spend hours or days finding the right person just to get a task done OR question answered. Causing unnecessary delays and tension. -Because of the ai first nature, a lot of people are hired that don't have a clue what they are doing tactically. So conversations and next steps are written and fueled by ai. -Everyone talks like walking philosopher degrees with unnecessary filler and jargon to SOUND like they know what they are doing, but not enough tactical skill. Semantics are huge here. Because of this, ALOT of miscommunication and confusion happens. -They don't have the proper organization or management tools, just slack heavy... as you can imagine chaos breeds in this space. Everyone says "Welcome to Fetch" instead of just hiring the right leaders to bring structure asap. -The focus is too much on doing whatever to get the job done and hit revenue goals.
