Pros

- Some of the smartest and friendliest people I have ever worked with, you will learn a TON working here - Great products that help Moms - Mission Driven - Strong Work/Life Balance while still having challenging and engaging work

Cons

It's hard to get to profitability on hardware, it's even harder when you have limited repeat customers as is the case for breast pumps. Because of this, there was constant funding chasing, teams were lean and there were multiple rounds of layoffs. This limited the amount of new product developed and brought to market that could offset the profitability issues of the pumps and keep the brand as an innovation leader as Chinese knockoffs started flooding the market.

Pros

Working alongside some of the most talented and caring people I've ever met. Opportunity to work remotely. Deep respect for working parents. Competitive salary.

Cons

The 2+ years I spent at Willow were some of the most unpleasant, and of my career. It's difficult to be productive or effective with 6-7 hours of meetings every day, a maddening loop of inconsequential and redundant reporting, constant strategy shifting and an unhealthy obsession with perceived corporate injustices. In my opinion, the reactive, panicked, and indecisive culture at Willow is a direct reflection of the current CEO's personality and insecurities. Unfortunately for the company, she is as ineffective as she is unlikeable. The company continues to lose market share, brand awareness and revenue... making the working experience even more painful.
