Pros

1.) The San Mateo, CA office is top-notch. Great location, with easy walking distance to tons of restaurants for lunch and post-work happy hours. 2.) Great group of people. Everyone working here seems 100% committed to producing a great product, and coworkers are always challenging you to be your best. 3.) Great work/life balance. Generally speaking, there aren't a ton of late nights or early bird meetings. Management understands we all have lives, because they do too! With such a shallow company, everyone from the CEO on down is on a first-name basis with one another.

Cons

1.) Although the office space is great, the building is a tad dated. The elevators are extremely slow, and it seems like there are always repairs happening on the dishwasher/AC/elevators/etc. Not necessarily a "ShopRunner" problem, but it definitely makes a difference in the day-to-day. 2.) No real feeling of company culture. It feels as though this is getting better, with increased company-wide meetings and more frequent happy hours but there is still a long way to go. A common mission statement would be nice. 3.) There is no sick-day policy, just a combined PTO policy. We have a very open-air office, and when someone comes in sick because they have a vacation coming up and can't afford to take a day to stay home, that affects the whole office.

Pros

I have worked at many tech companies and startups in my time, and I can say this is the first company to practice what they preach. I feel the unified effort of not only leadership and the People team, but ShopRunner as a whole, in making this a safe and inclusive space to work; where employee's can bring their authentic selves to work. I see positive change happening in real time, rather than lingering promises. This is a breath of fresh air in a sea of stuffy and political corporations masquerading as "tech companies" or "startups" (See: Away and Steph Korey). Benefit offerings are extremely competitive. Heath coverage cannot be beat and they offer yearly tuition reimbursement for continued education. Beautiful office space in River North with many amenities. ShopRunner hosts events/seminars and is very active in the Chicago tech space. We have gained alot of high profile traction in the last year and I am very optimistic and excited for what lies ahead.

Cons

As is par for the course, with lean and agile teams in a rapidly changing industry, expect to wear multiple hats and anticipate shifts; corporate desk jockeys look elsewhere. Priorities have been an issue in the past but I feel we are much more aligned at this year's close for future state success.
