Pros

- Really exciting vision that the company is going after, and real traction too. It's always impressive going through how many customers use GlossGenius and how it's grown consistently. - Dedicated leadership that goes above and beyond, often spending a ton of time with reports. I've learned so much here, way more than I had at my past companies. Execs are always accessible and make the time, and it's very much a lead by example place. An inspiring team. - Solid product and one of my favorite things is to see how much love and glowing feedback customers have to share about the product. It's meaningful to be driving these outcomes with customers, and get to have an open tap of all this customer love. - Smart colleagues that care a lot about what they do. This company has recruited top talent and I respect so many of my colleagues. Many of them have become friends and colleagues are rigorous with work but super collaborative. - Beautiful office space, it feels like home and the People team is always watching after the office needs with snacks, coffee, etc.

Cons

- Honestly I can't think of many. I'd say the company has pushed a lot on evolving with AI and that's been exciting for me, but some colleagues aren't as excited. I think GlossGenius should stay on this track and not get sidetracked by some of this noise.

Pros

I've worked at fast growing startups before and GlossGenius is the first place where I am genuinely learning new things. You're given a lot of ownership and ability to build cool things. Leadership is extremely supportive of new ideas and encourages continual evolution. The leadership team is customer obsessed and while sometimes it can be challenging to incorporate different types of customer feedback, it is so rewarding to be able to act on customer requests and get it into the hands of small business owners the same day and actually see the impact you're having. The customers we serve rely on our product for much of their daily lives, so the whole team takes what they do seriously because it is. Senior leadership provides a lot of learning opportunities. Based off of my experience having seen leaders at other companies, senior leadership here is top tier. The other teammates I work with are incredible too as they're all very smart. The team operates heavily with AI. Compensation is competitive for a company at this stage, equity is real given the recent raise and valuation step-up, and the benefits are solid. Career growth is fast if you're good as I've seen people move up two levels in a short period of time because the company is expanding faster than it can promote from outside.

Cons

None really. If you need to be told what to do or need a lot of structure, you might not do well here.
