What are perks and other benefits like at Bestow?

Talented and mission driven employees, benefits, remote work. Fast paced if you thrive in that kind of environment.

Lack of a true business strategy and relying on a multi-pronged approach led to several rounds of layoffs of great talent. Seems like business goals were always in flux, resulting in frequent reorganization of teams. Limited advancement of career opportunities depending on the department.

Great benefits, collaborative environment, and high performing org

Pace can be challenging, but it is also rewarding when the bar is consistently raised.

Many friendly and intelligent people work for the company. At one point, they had great benefits, but started taking many of those away due to "cost".

The leadership is awful. Working at Bestow is very much a popularity contest, and when you make someone mad, you are out of the club. Most everyone is doing the job of two to three people, which is not scalable in the long term. The company's HR people are snarky know-it-alls who should not be working in HR. The company itself changed business models multiple times, which led to layoffs and lots of churn. I would advise to steer clear of the company no matter what department you work within. Some departments have turned their teams over 2-3 times,

Pay, culture, owners, remote job and benefits.

Not organized. Some of upper management is not knowledgeable in their area.

Culture, coworkers, and benefits were great

Projects were a bit mismanaged. Needed a firmer roadmap.

We're changing the infrastructure of an industry and several veterans in this industry are confident we're doing it well - I'm really proud of that. That's cool, but often messy. We get it wrong sometimes. Others have said we make bad bets, but they fail to mention we make some great ones too - we're a start-up, and we learn and iterate fast. The people who succeed here are nimble and optimistic, looking for solutions. Comp is great. Equity feels fair. Benefits are the best I've ever gotten. Founders are ethical and transparent. During covid, the back to office plan consisted of asking us if we wanted to come back and when we said nope, they didn't require it. Every manager is different, but with mine, I've significantly developed in my career both because they provided a fair and honest feedback loop and because I asked for more responsibility and advancement.

There are a few leadership blind spots to weak talent at the highest level. If you want the troops to care as much as you do, focus on giving us the most inspiring, competent, capable leaders.

The founders are dedicated to making hard things easier. Team members are all striving to solve complex problems which pushes individuals to be the best they can be. Benefits are best I've had in my career

Normal start-up peaks and valleys, but if start-ups are where you enjoy working then it doesn't even phase you. Every company has their challenges but the difference at Bestow is they acknowledge them, discuss how to improve, and take action.
