Pros

When looking for new roles, I want to help build something interesting with smart and fun people. Finch has all of these and then some. We're building a new category and it's apparent how badly the market needs our solution given our growth rates, so that covers interesting. The people across every function are very intelligent, I know I'm in the right place when everyone is smarter than me. The fun part, well our last company offsite in Tahoe was a blast, skiing, sharing beers, swapping stories, and playing hilarious games. One of the best parts in my opinion is how kind and generous everyone is. People will go out of their way to help and kindness here is rewarded.

Cons

The biggest downside is the size, we definitely need more builders to help. That's part of creating a special company though, and given how much we're hiring, it'll all be solved very soon. No 401k match

Pros

Fantastic team, with a leadership team that is empathetic, flexible and versatile in how they contribute to the different functions in the org. We have one of the best engineering teams I've seen; everyone is willing to support each other on a product that is frankly very difficult to build.

Cons

Not many on this front; its a difficult product to build, and are at times, at the mercy of the providers we integrate with. This can complicate engineering efforts over time.

Pros

friendly people that seem very smart/knowledgeable.

Cons

My experience with Finch’s hiring process was frustrating and ultimately a significant waste of time. The role was initially presented as a Brand Designer position, and I went through multiple rounds of interviews based on that understanding. After completing the interview process, I was informed that the team’s needs had changed and that the position was actually focused on web design. Throughout the process, it seemed there was a lack of alignment on what the role was intended to be and what skills were actually needed. The expectations and responsibilities were not clearly defined, which made the interview experience feel disorganized and misleading. My concern is that the same lack of clarity may extend beyond the hiring process and into the role itself. Candidates considering this opportunity should make sure they have a clear understanding of the position’s scope, responsibilities, and expectations before investing significant time in the interview process.
