Pros

Extreme attention to work life balance, as in never any pressure to perform or do things quickly. The performance objectives you have to meet are hilariously easy. On one hand this is great for your personal life, but if you're a person driven to grow, improve things, iterate and learn quickly this is not the place for you.

Cons

As someone that had worked at fast growing startups before Tony's, it was frustrating to see people so obsessed with making group decisions and go in circles, operate like it's 20 years ago with technology and continually coming up with silly new "benefits" to avoid giving serious salary raises. Hiring a bunch of washed up upper management from FMCG companies that haven't done "hands on" work or had to implement anything themselves in decades and at the same time not having seriously talented experienced people down the ranks because they don't want to have to pay market rate has created a super weird culture of most people just working on strategy and presenting big picture ideas and few people getting s&*t done. Too much being cute and fun and not enough actually trying to evolve and win. Personally I'd put aggressive professional objectives for every single person at the company that can be measured and have real consequences if people don't meet them.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, provides lunch, fun outside activities, a lot of flexibility in the way you do your job

Cons

Can’t take unlimited PTO due to workload and lack of coverage, disorganized structure, overwhelming workload, lack of culture due to the recent growth and lots of turnover, micromanagement from Dutch team on US matters, a lot of infrastructural problems come to light very quickly
