Pros

- Good company energy that management keeps up through different activities over Zoom, etc. - Remote first company, with optional office visits - Bonus.ly accounts to reward coworkers with points, you can then turn points into gift cards or donate to charities - Lots of gifts from management. Onboarding gifts, holiday gifts, etc.

Cons

- Lack of strong upper level management - Zero work /life balance and no boundaries - Tons of meetings that prevent you from being able to get day to day tasks complete - You are expected to complete your daily tasks, in addition to 3-4 rocks (larger initiatives) each quarter. - This company pays men more than women, but all salaries are on the extreme low end for all positions with very few opportunities for growth/promotions - As a new employee, management did not include me in the company-wide survey. When I asked if I could participate in this survey, I was told no and to wait for next years. - All expenses that you are asked are expected to be paid for yourself and then reimbursed months later - Really heavy workload with not enough benefits to make it worth it. - They do not allow ANYONE to take time off between Christmas and New Years (you have to work on New Years until at least midnight) - This company does not pay out unused PTO and has very strict rules to how and when you can use your PTO I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Pros

remote work that feels like you're in a room with adults. however, there are a few too many "thought leaders" in the over bloated exec team which make priorities and ownership confusing. they have an amazing competitive advantage with insurance partnerships, but it felt as if there were too many cooks in the kitchen at times which made work take longer than it needed to with far too many rounds of revisions/approvals.

Cons

empower individuals to truly own their lanes. snuff out people that are all talk and no action. learn from poor investments - create more narrow strategy and execute. certain teams and managers unfortunately can be/feel cliquey. some teams will assign blame to others/point the finger across the aisle vs. take accountability. can feel a little "style over substance" with flashy off sites, remote perks, strong HR presence when behind the scenes they are PE owned and will make layoffs and tough decisions when margins and profits aren't where they were projected to be.
