Pros

-Start-up vibe, interesting and engaging co-workers, passionate about the company and it's future. -Unlimited PTO (but not quite if you're in an essential role) -Good Benefits and flexible with work locations (they at least try to meet the average comp for the area, but tend to lean on the lower side)

Cons

-Company leadership needs work, CEO makes an effort with communicating but not actually leading. Most VP and Director level folks are scrambling to show results often at the expense and well-being of individual contributors. -Company values are more forced than actually demonstrated or valued. -Too many all-hands and other "professional development" meetings which significantly interrupt actual working time, meaning lots of late nights, and "days off" where you're expected to work/be available. -Lack of diversity in company and on board despite a push for diversity. -Many long-term employees with institutional knowledge have recently left.

Hey there - I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. As I continue to develop, I'd love to learn how I'm not meeting your expectations so I can improve as a leader. Please reach out to me directly or anonymously with more tactical feedback. Regarding diversity, while we continue to have the opportunity to improve on the DE&I front, the stats we collect and share internally don't necessarily tie to your stated perspective. >55% of our company is female, and over 40% is non-white. Our executive team is 60% female and 30% non-white. Our Board of Directors is 30% female and 100% of the board seats we can influence are stellar Directors who also happen to be female. I also understand that diversity in itself is not the only piece of the puzzle and we have past, current, and future projects to create a more equitable and inclusive workforce. On the other topics, we do value frequent and transparent communication and we do give a lot of holidays. I'll work with the team to make sure expectations are clear that those are to help people succeed and not be a burden in any way. Thanks! Blake (Founder & CEO)

Pros

They are generous with company holidays, the work is not that hard, flexibility and work life balance are pretty good

Cons

Leadership sucks and you will constantly see people who should not be promoted getting promoted, career growth can be difficult because the company is very cagey with titles and pay raises even when it’s been clearly earned. They don’t treat people of color well (as evidenced by their track record of how many POCs decide to leave the company) though the company tries to act like they care about diversity. Pay isn’t great and they often assign responsibilities to you beyond the scope of your role or position (with no recognition or pay).
