Pros

Has really good benefits, lots of ‘together’ time. Daily syncs and weekly meeting syncs as well. Company is overall very positive but that is also a downfall that I’ll explain in cons.

Cons

Over sharing is highly encouraged and it almost feels like you are shunned if you don’t. Agree with some other reviews, a lot of type A personalities that are very off putting to more introverted people. Have to develop a writing style that syncs with the companies which seems very fake and upbeat, is a bit overwhelming. Company is overly positive which makes it seem like there is nothing ever wrong so when issues came up it can be very awkward how management responds to them and almost feels like they don’t know how to react. They try keeping us out of the loop as much as they can and don’t share much until it’s gotten to a point where we are finding stuff out from customers instead of management.

Mockingbird Response

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. It really is helpful to hear, and we’re sorry if you’ve ever felt forced to show up in ways you don’t feel comfortable with, whether in live meetings or in written communication — that is never our intention. We aim to create an environment where you feel like you can show up as yourself and be accepted for doing so, but it sounds like we’ve missed the mark a bit there, and we hope you might be open to speaking with your manager and working together on how we can do this better. We also totally hear you on the opportunity for management to be more open about the issues affecting our company, not just the positives. With the recently introduced quarterly Bird’s Eye View presentations, we aimed to create the space for exactly that, taking a balanced look at not just what went well over the past quarter, but also what could have gone better. We agree, though, there’s certainly more we could do here to ensure everyone is in the loop on the latest matters affecting our business and our team. Again, we really mean it when we say we appreciate your feedback, and we hope to continue evolving our communication and processes to try to create the best possible work environment for you and your teammates.

Pros

- Great culture and benefits, you truly feel valued as both an employee and a person - Work/life balance is wonderful, I don't feel pressured to do more than I'm able to get done or respond to people after hours - Super friendly and welcoming coworkers, everyone is a team player and looks to support others

Cons

Honestly, none. This has been a great place to work since day 1. In the 3 years that I've been here there has been incredibly low turnover, indicating that folks are truly happy to be here.

Pros

- I think the way information and work is organized and communicated would work well in an office too, but it is so clearly and thoughtfully set up for 100% remote work. From the way policies and work plans are documented in Notion, to the way we use Slack so efficiently, to the limiting of unnecessary meetings, the day to day is so calm and humane. - Accountability and ownership is really clear. Every team member sets quarterly initiatives that contribute to our overall goals, and as ad hoc opportunities come up, there’s never a vague sense of shared ownership. - Mockingbird really values thoughtful, thorough communication. We use a lot of asynchronous communication channels, but the norm is to take your time to leave complete, well-thought out feedback. - Everybody is just so genuinely kind and fun to work with. We really care about our customers, the product, each other, and doing excellent work.

Cons

Honestly, none. In my first few months I kept waiting for the shine to wear off. But this company is legit!
