How flexible is your schedule working at MNTN?

flexible schedule, great benefits and perks, wonderful people, interesting and impactful work, and the ability to work on some very cool products.

leadership is always trying new initiatives, which can cause a lot of pivoting. but it is the consequence of a company trying to make big strides.

This company truly is what you make of it, and I've found that to be incredibly empowering. If you're proactive about your experience here, you'll thrive. Culture & People: The culture really does take everyone—diverse backgrounds, different working styles, introverts and extroverts alike. My advice? Get to know others across teams. Some of my best collaborations and friendships have come from reaching out to people outside my immediate department. The People Team is always willing to help with anything, whether it's career questions, benefits clarifications, or just navigating company resources. Communication Matters: Be vocal if you see issues. Leadership genuinely wants to hear feedback and actually acts on it. I've seen real changes happen because someone spoke up in a team meeting or sent thoughtful feedback. This isn't a place where concerns disappear into a void. Benefits Are Outstanding: Fully remote - Work from anywhere with a flexible schedule Vacation stipend - They actually give you money to take real vacations Wellness opportunities - Breathing, sound baths, and access to coaching platforms Offsites in cool cities - We've done company gatherings in Austin, Denver, and Miami. Great for team bonding! Comprehensive healthcare - Including mental health coverage and fertility care, which is increasingly rare and incredibly valuable Unlimited PTO

Because it's what you make of it, you do need to be self-motivated and proactive. If you're waiting for everything to be handed to you, you might feel a bit lost. But if you take initiative, the opportunities are endless.

- Competitive initial compensation. - MNTN Meets, where they fly everyone to a new location for in-person gathering. - Stock options. - Vacation stipend. - MNTN Days, so every month has a guaranteed three day weekend.

- Horrible work/life balance. They say they encourage balance, but often expect more than anyone can fit in a 40 hour week. Working overtime is the norm and I feel like it'll reflect poorly on me when I only work 8 hours a day. We often get pinged or meeting invites outside of work hours. Feeling burned out is the default and they have explicitly told us they aren't going to let up. - MNTN's engineering culture has become rooted in fear. People get fired here often, whether they've been here for a month or ten years. While there are absolutely valid reasons to fire someone, I've watched multiple people get fired that I feel didn't deserve it. I worry constantly about doing or saying something that will land me on that short list. If you do get a job here, just know that the decision to one day leave the company will most likely not be yours. - The company has a "flexible time off" policy that hardly gets used. We aren't encouraged to use it and its heavily implied that the company's needs and deadlines are always more important. Many on my team still sign on when they take sick days and it's uncommon to see anyone take a real vacation. - I've experienced many different managers in my time at MNTN. Almost all I know are severely lacking in people managing skills. My manager couldn't care less about me as a person. I've never felt more like cog in someone else's machine than I do here. I've been in several meetings that include veiled threats of getting fired if you aren't willing to do everything they put on you. And leadership doesn't respond well to critical questions. After being generally dismissive, multiple recent responses have included a sentence that ends in, "then maybe this isn't the place for you!" If you don't feel comfortable talking to your manager for any reason, you're out of luck. There are no ways to give feedback anonymously. In my experience, HR will usually side with managers anyway. - While the initial compensation here is a definite plus, getting ANY kind of increase after is basically a myth. They have a strict policy that you don't get a penny more unless you're "doing more" for the company. And yes, the criteria is that vague. For a full month, I worked overtime 7 days a week to keep up with their forced deadline. In my review later I was given a "meets expectations" score and told that was "just what's expected of me." And even after being saddled with more responsibilities later, it still wasn't enough. I asked what I needed to do to qualify for a raise. The answer was to take on tasks "above and beyond that aren't on the team's radar." Later I got in trouble for working on improvements because they weren't on the team's radar. There's literally no way to win. It's incredibly discouraging to be told how easy it is to qualify for a raise while it seems like they actively fight against how many people will make it. So negotiate well up front, because that's likely your number for years to come.
