Pros

Work from home, pay well, good health insurance.

Cons

If you are reading this and considering working for ID.me, run as fast as you can. The company lies about their numbers to the public and to their board. It’s honestly frightening. You receive little to no training and your position and title is constantly changing against your will. Everyone is miserable. The highest performers only stick around for the hope of an IPO, which will never happen. I mean never. The inability to hold onto an exec, especially a CRO is alarming. They join for a couple months then quit. There is something going on behind the scenes that no one except those who have given their first born to Blake Hall will ever know. This place will suck your soul and then blame you for having one in the first place. Someone once told me working at ID.me is like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic and I couldn’t agree more. There’s a constant feeling of impending doom. My advice is work for CLEAR. Now that company has it figured out.

Pros

- Competitive base salary - When the product works, it creates real value for customers and solves meaningful problems - Opportunities to travel and work directly with Fortune 100 brands - Some incredibly talented people genuinely care about building something great

Cons

- Employees quickly become numbers in a culture of digital Taylorism. Even top performers are expendable. I was recognized as a Presidents Club recipient and laid off just three weeks later. In 4.5 years, I had seven different managers. - The company markets itself as a veteran-owned, mission-driven business, but decisions are overwhelmingly driven by growth and shareholder value. The veteran identity is a marketing strategy rather a genuine internal commitment. - OTE compensation plans are overly complex, frequently change, and make it difficult to understand or accurately predict earnings. - The company is effectively run around one person’s ego. Senior leadership seems more focused on reinforcing it than challenging it.
