Pros

Free lunch is usually delicious

Cons

The CFO is some Trump look-and-act-alike who cooks the office pancakes once a year with the enthusiasm of the Donald doing minority outreach (“the best pancakes are made in the Yieldmo kitchen. I love employees!”) Meanwhile, the CEO roams the office like he’s on an invisible Segway, stopping by your desk to mime shooting you in the head with an invisible shotgun. (seriously he does this) The CTO hisses when exposed to light or personality. Each day at Yieldmo is like being sent to work in your parents’ basement to play Magic the Gathering with Steve Urkel, except Urkel’s taking his role waaay too seriously and the board game’s throwing null pointer exceptions. Also, Steve Urkel’s white. Oh, and as for HR? I’ve heard it exists but I’ve never seen any evidence. Rumor has it if you find an HR person at Yieldmo, he or she will immediately grant you three wishes, one of which is two weeks severance.

We hear you and appreciate the time you took to write this review. The people here at Yieldmo care about our company and are collectively striving to make this a great place to work. We do wish you could have been more precise with your feedback so we could use it to help create change. Though witty, some of this feedback was unproductive (we’ve never heard our CTO hiss before.) We want to ensure we heard your concerns properly so we can address them going forward. As we read it, your suggestions for improvement are these: Better communication from Leadership about the strategy for our company, invest more in HR talent, and stop celebrating our successes with eggs-made-to-order (not pancakes.) Please let us know if this is correct so we may continue to improve our culture.

Pros

The company culture is genuinely people first. Flexible time off is encouraged and respected, we have a company-wide holiday slow down to recharge, and remote work is not just allowed, it’s supported. There’s a real sense of trust and autonomy, which makes it easy to bring your best self to work. On the work side, we’re solving exciting, complex problems that have a real impact, and there’s a lot of room to grow. If you’re someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys being part of shaping how things get done, it’s a great fit.

Cons

It’s a startup, which means we’re still building the plane while flying it. That can come with some disorganization, shifting priorities, and the kind of growing pains that are pretty standard in early-stage companies. But leadership is transparent, and there’s a clear commitment to improvement.

Pros

Remote and Unlimited PTO are nice, but that’s about it

Cons

GTM strategy changing every five seconds , 6 quarters of declining sales, poor communication, and those at the tops don’t have any idea what really goes on.
