Coffee Meets Bagel Reviews

Pros

Great place to work if you're passionate about helping people get the love they deserve. The team takes this seriously. Team has gotten very good at working remotely with Zoom/Slack/Asana and more tools. Super open communications, lots of feedback, fast at decision making. Has done quite well during the pandemic as this is being written, all things considered.

Cons

This is a relatively small company with big competitors, join only if you're up for that kind of challenge.

Pros

Very transparent, clear company strategy and goals.

Cons

Small company so doesn’t have same perks as huge companies.

Pros

Open management, many dedicated people, is dedicated to its mission. Most co-workers are amazing helpful people.

Cons

Can be slow to move, some teams are very thin

Pros

Best place to work! Love it

Cons

There is really no cons

Pros

* people are friendly and generally nice. People do tend to care for one another * lot of exposure to senior leadership. They do make time and hear you out. * new office is nice and Hayes Valley is great * work/life balance is solid

Cons

* Company is complacent. It takes forever to get ideas moving and to ship new features. The features we ship tend to be very similar to those that other dating apps have had for years. People seem to be happy here and have kind of settled in. Management keeps talking about differentiation, but we keep shipping stuff that makes us more like everyone else. * Lots of turnover. It seems like 2019 was a rough year for turnover. We lost a lot of really good people and it was often unexpected. At times, people seemed to disappear with no notice or warning. Some employees were let go with little consideration for how their exit would affect other teams and people, so we were left scrambling to cover. Really poor planning and management here. * People management is really spotty. The company tries to be good about people management, but there are not a ton of experienced people managers and the company is too small for people to put real time into it. * Pay is pretty low relative to other places. Perks are pretty spartan, * company lacks vision. It seems like leadership changes how they organize the company based on the latest management books someone read. It can feel like the leadership listens to their friends in other companies more than the people inside CMB.

Pros

The leaders truly care about the employees of the company. It is a very special place in that regard. I've never seen more transparency of the company's strategy and product roadmap in my career. I feel my voice is heard, much more so than other companies in which the product team controls all decisions. The company demonstrates a growth mindset and learns from mistakes (instead of pointing fingers).

Cons

It's a small company so the benefits will not be as generous as a huge, profitable company like Facebook or Google. But benefits is usually not why people would join a company.

Pros

- Great place to learn, there are always new interesting problems to solve - Leadership is accessible, supportive, and positive - Employees are passionate about the company mission and it shows in how well teams collaborate

Cons

CMB has a couple of remote teams. This can be challenging for some, but the exec team and office management are very aware of this and implement all the tech we need to work together effectively.

Pros

–Managers genuinely care about your well-being –Fair compensation, incl. great insurance, and room to grow –Company truly cares about its mission and bettering the online dating industry –Remote-forward work culture –Dogs –Flexible work hours –Close-knit team members –Solid education stipend

Cons

–Agility and speed sometimes favored over attention to detail and quality output –Management styles range widely from team to team (from micromanagement, to fantastic leaders, to minimal guidance) –Limited creative resources
