Pros
- Relatively transparent communication, especially for a startup, even if a lot of times it proves to be inaccurate or untrue, they at least tried - A lot of really great people work here - Made some life long friends - Great benefits and comp - Decent tech stack
Cons
- Strange promotion policy. For example, a senior leader who seemingly never hit a major goal, announced missing goals essentially every quarter was promoted three or four times in under a year. Another example, great employees get laid off and their managers who are not good at their jobs get promoted immediately after. - Irrational return to office policy. Apparently the founders decided to get an office, when relatively few of us wanted one. When they saw that very few people were using the office, they mandated that those of us in NYC had to come in. The office is loud, hot and terrible for communication and networking. It's particularly bad when we were hired as remote employees and suddenly have to come to an office. - Two very questionable C-suite hires who made some very questionable decisions that negatively impacted a very large amount of employees. - Consistent habit of saying one thing and then doing another. Example, proclaiming, "we don't foresee any layoffs" and then laying people off less than a month later. - Disingenuous and hollow approach to diversity.
