Pros

I almost can't believe that a company like INTURN exists and that I somehow stumbled upon this opportunity through a mutual friend in its very early stages. It's rare that you get to work at a startup that is solving a complex problem in an industry; as a result, everyone in the office is incredibly motivated and sees a glaring need for the solution we're building. It's been incredibly rewarding to see the product take shape via the immensely collaborative work environment, the urge/encouragement to speak up and voice your opinion (regardless of team or level), and the healthy debate that keeps me challenged at work virtually every day. I couldn't have designed a better company for myself; one that values intellectual curiosity, hard work, and fun. The management team is seasoned (unlike many startups run by kids, where mentorship and experience are lacking) and is invested in both the company's success and the success of the individual employees. INTURN is the proverbial rocket ship and I'm so lucky to be a part of it.

Cons

Very few cons; investors seem to be tight surrounding handing out additional equity options as compensation, but that may be because when asked what INTURN's exit strategy is, they replied with, 'there is no exit strategy, it's a billion dollar business.'

Pros

I've never worked at a company where I felt like I could see myself at that company long-term after my honeymoon period. The people are great and easy to work with. Executive leadership talented and know what they're doing. Very little politics, people are really here to do their jobs and help us all work toward a profitable and well-run company. Benefits are great, I wish we had a stronger retirement package (no company match for 401k). 18 days of vacation for your first 3 years then push up to 21 days, then 25 days after 5 years. 1 month sabbatical granted after 4 years. Outstanding work-life balance, this is a results-oriented culture and if you get your stuff done nobody is going to ask questions. I've seen people in different teams and functions have opportunities to branch out and discover new areas of interest, there are front-end engineers who learn back-end and vice-versa, employees on the business side have also been given opportunities to try new things. Inturn really cares about its employees and it shows. Company is going remote permanently, some people see this as a pro and some see it as a con.

Cons

Retirement benefits lacking and sometimes I don't think we have the smartest people in IC positions. (Management and especially upper management/executive leadership are all very talented so I have strong faith in the future of the company.). Company sponsors events for women-only that exclude men from professional opportunities. For this reason I give the company a low diversity & inclusion score; company-sponsored events should never exclude people.
