Pros

Money was really good. People were nice. Product stunk though.

Cons

Saw a positive review here recently. Clearly a false review. Such a thinly veiled attempt to post Route in a positive light. Look. Sometimes companies don't work. Leadership is bad. Its fine. But lets not "spin" stuff on GD to make it look good. Route probably burned through 70% of the company within the last year. I'd say at least 300 people got shown the door. People either let go, laid off, fired, or quit because the end was near. When a review says "best days ahead", I just laugh. The product doesn't work. The product team is gone. Most of the sales team is gone. The former CEO is working on his "next big thing". Lights will be turned off shortly. Again, companies fail. Thats fine. But let's not lie about a company's future people. At least muster up a few ounces of truth. Much more than what you told everyone when you laid them off via email.

Pros

Loved working with all the people at Route! Always unique and fun projects.

Cons

Fast paced environment with some last minute tight deadlines as to be expected working with an up and coming tech startup

Pros

The company has energy, and there are moments where it genuinely feels exciting… at least temporarily.

Cons

Everything moves extremely fast, which sounds great at first, but eventually the constant shifting starts creating more confusion than momentum, because priorities change, expectations evolve mid-process, and communication doesn’t always keep pace with those changes, so instead of building confidence in the work you’re doing, you end up constantly recalibrating and trying to keep up with whatever the newest focus is, which becomes mentally exhausting after a while because nothing ever feels fully settled long enough to actually succeed properly.
