Metabolic Reviews

Hey there, Thanks for the feedback. While I certainly don't agree with everything you wrote, it's true that we had quite an intense period a few years ago and we had a few people who genuinely struggled with the pace of work. This is something many startups experience, unfortunately, and I think we've taken the right steps to address the underlying issues that caused people to overwork. I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience. As for some of the other comments you made: 1) "You will meet great people cycling through the organization - but the best ones don't stick around." I don't mean to disparage anyone who no longer works here, but our team is awesome and has never been better. 2) "Be prepared to be called names which are totally inappropriate at a workplace." I can't comment on what is said in private conversations or among peers, but the atmosphere is incredibly respectful. I've never witnessed someone calling someone else insulting names or anything of that sort. I'm sorry if you experienced otherwise. 3) "The CEO is intelligent and charming but her idea of truth is as fluid as Donald Trump's" This doesn't resonate at all, I'm afraid. All CEOs feel that they're more often right than they are wrong, otherwise they'd probably have someone else lead. But our CEO is incredibly thoughtful, kind, and intelligent. Her advice is sought after by top organizations around the world. The comparison is neither accurate nor fair. 4) "Be prepared to asked to rewrite your work (that you have been working on for weeks or even months) 5 hours before the deadline." People go through these kinds of dynamics early in their careers. Sometimes they have lax managers who don't care, and thus they don't develop very well. Other times they work with managers who are perfectionists and make work difficult and stressful. In most cases, I think, people find that doing great work requires good two-way communication. If you were asked to redo work you were doing for months right before the deadline, I'd be willing to bet it wasn't a one-way problem. Either way, best of luck to you, and I hope you gained something from your time with us.
