Pros

*Top investors that give the business legitimacy. *Talented team, but most of the best people have quit in the last 6 months. *Ownership and ability to experiment, but this is overshadowed by the cons

Cons

*Function through threats. Threaten their employees and have even threatened a past employee with reaching out to their current employer after the past employee posted a negative review on Glassdoor. *Autocratic, un-empathetic, and inexperienced people leadership. There is no nurturing of talent or "growth mindset" when it comes to people. *Leadership has received the same feedback repeatedly and pretend it is news every time, then try to hand off building and implementing the solution to those who suffer from their incompetence. This is present in business operations, product, and people management *Those who stay in line and nod along with every decision leadership makes are rewarded. Anyone who voices a different opinion or gives feedback is structured out of the organization. Say they are all for feedback but can't take it. *Most of the positive reviews are from the same day(s), draw your own conclusions. *Disrespect the app workers and then say their mission is to empower them? *Every value they supposedly stand for... it's the complete opposite.

Pros

- High-impact work - Unmatched talent density — Traba is full of top performers who are genuinely some of the smartest, hardest-working people you’ll ever meet

Cons

- The hours are ridiculous (9am–9pm in the office daily) and expectations are high. It’s nearly impossible to maintain a life outside of work, especially if you want to succeed here - Leadership cares way too much about the number of hours you're clocking in the office — it’s bizarre & unproductive - Turnover is insanely high, and they make zero effort to retain top talent, even when the cost of hiring and training replacements should justify it — the product + business model are unnecessarily complicated & require a good amount of time to learn. Yet the company doesn’t invest enough in properly ramping up new hires to set them up for success. As a result, employees are often let go prematurely (also, arbitrarily) before they’ve had a fair chance to ramp up & prove themselves. - They also have no problem letting people go who've pretty much poured their entire lives to this company — people who’ve dedicated 60+ hours of their time & energy to this failing business week over week - Overall, the level of sacrifice required to work here is not normal & it’s hard to justify considering how low the pay is
