Energetic and tight knit team - Anonymous employee Trim Employee Review

The company's values are centered around nurturing the team, nurturing growth, and nurturing its customers. This focus on the team's well-being as well as our users' financial health makes it so easy to come to work everyday and enjoy the people that I am working with!

Like many early stage startups, Trim is always in go-go-go mode with many priorities. This can sometimes make it feel a bit chaotic.

- After several years in development, the culture and values at Trim are better than you will find in most early-stage startups. - The company is still very much in a “move fast and break things” mentality, which can be exciting as an engineer to move very quickly. - The office is in a great location.

- Little to no vision or cohesion driving the product. What started as a subscription-cancelling SMS bot turned into a Comcast-negotiating Chrome extension turned into a debt payoff subscription. There is no leadership about what Trim should do or be; it is left as an exercise to the engineering team, which is not prepared, trained, or supported to handle that part of the business. - What started as an open, honest workplace has become deceptive to its employees, its investors, and its users. Perhaps transparency is a luxury only successful startups can afford. - With the exception of the Growth/Marketing department, the leadership at Trim is inexperienced, and it shows. The process of prioritization is flighty and changes constantly; there is little to no agreement or consensus about what should be done, and a lot of work is wasted. - Lastly, this is not a “tech” company. It is a tech-assisted contractor-management company. Claims that it is using AI/Machine Learning are completely fabricated. Engineers who want to grow and learn about interesting and stimulating parts of the industry should look elsewhere; there is very little exciting proprietary tech to be had at Trim.
