A False Foundation of Values

Pros

Hands down, the best team and the best manager I have ever worked with. Truly some of the kindest, talented, and inspiring humans.

Cons

The company is built on so-called values but it is a false foundation. I would not put your trust in this company and I do not expect it to succeed. Sadly, I believe this is the beginning of the end. The CEO abruptly and unexpectedly laid off half of the workforce with no advance notice. Even those that had worked for the company for years were left in the dark. The lack of transparency that led up to this decision is astonishing. Especially for a small company that considered itself a tight-knit and close community. RIF can be a part of business but how you it approach it means everything. A mass layoff with no advance notice right before the holidays? Merry Christmas.

Steer clear of Oliver Space

Pros

I liked the folks I worked with and everyone seemed to get along. The employee discount is also pretty nice if you use the service.

Cons

- No boundaries between work and personal life. Slack messages on the weekends and requirement to work weekend shift on the customer service chat platform. If you don't revolve your life around this job then room for growth is minimal. - Pay is far below average. Yes it's a startup and they offer equity in the form of stock options, but the cash salaries for most roles are below industry standard. No 401(k) matching. - Beware of "unlimited PTO." Stigma around taking time off, and you will be pinged while on PTO. - Lots of young and inexperienced recent college grads as "managers." - Head of Finance left in the Fall of 2021 (never a good sign). - Once you get ramped up your workload becomes very broad. You'll start working on projects that have no relation to the role you applied for. Noticed I was starting to feel like I had to job of multiple people.
