      Pros

      Leadership seems genuinely committed to the mission and to doing the right thing. Since the turbulent period in 2024 / 2025, they seem to be taking the right steps to address some of the challenges that came as a result of scaling fast.

      Cons

      During my time at the company, there was frequent shifting in company focus and strategy. It often felt like there wasn’t enough time to fully execute on one strategy before moving on to the next. But this appeared to begin changing before I left

      Pros

      -Working on projects that ultimately help support families across the country -Ability to try new areas of work if you're interested in learning something new -Remote-first company but with opportunities to meet at WeWork to get the face-to-face interaction if you are located in CA

      Cons

      -Internal communications between teams is something that is being worked on to make more seamless. - Processes need to be more streamlined across the whole company when possible. - Benefits/perks could be better - better health insurance coverage, parental leave is lacking (competitive is considered 12 weeks paid+ leave for all employees), higher 401k match, offer flex time to work when it is best for your schedule, encouraging mental health days, wellness benefits such as coverage a gym membership/headspace membership)
