Pros

Remote Unlimited paid time off

Cons

I was hired and then let go after 6 weeks. I was told by my manager that they are not going to set me up for success and it’s better for my own “mental health” if I don’t work there. Not only is it illegal to let someone go for “mental health” reasons, but for a company who put so much emphasis on their core values, one being, “we care”, I surely didn’t have that experience. I never felt supported nor was even given a fair chance at my job. This says a lot about what kind of company they are. I would love to hear what the CEO has to say about this. I would proceed with caution before accepting a job there.

Pros

Beyond has a strong mission, talented employees, and opportunities to work on meaningful projects. I enjoyed collaborating with cross-functional teams and appreciated the chance to contribute to innovative work. The people I worked with were supportive, skilled, and passionate about what they do. I also gained valuable experience and grew professionally during my time here.

Cons

The culture shifted significantly following management changes. There was an increased emphasis on oversight, administrative tracking, and process, which reduced autonomy and trust. As a designer, I found myself spending more time documenting work than focusing on design and creative problem-solving. Unlimited PTO policies felt restrictive in practice, making it difficult to fully disconnect and recharge. Workload distribution at times appeared inconsistent, which could impact morale and growth opportunities. These factors contributed to burnout and ultimately influenced my decision to leave.
