Pros
Moving in right direction in some areas, resource focus is shifting towards engineering and operations teams.
More effort put into training new employees.
Trying to distance themselves from white, male led start up culture, although this is still heavily apparent.
Free coffee and snacks.
Generous unlimited vacation and good healthcare plan.
Recent collaboration with Spin as operations provider is encouraging and created lots of growth.
Good opportunity for progression, if desired.
Cons
Sales and CEO talk about the company in glowing terms, but (to quote an article in the NYT), it’s like a farmer showing off his great crop, but not mentioning that the tractor just broke, he fired the mechanic and outsourced tractor maintenance to Bolivia.
Frequent lay offs.
Frequent company pivots in direction.
No paternal leave.
Few women that have a baby return to work FT.
Metrics, when there, are flimsy and focused on bottom line.
No other operations collaboration other than Spin, and lots of processes are tailored towards them only.
