Pros

Top talent in almost every role. Great emphasis around company culture and treating people with respect and kindness. High bar for hiring and retaining people who live up to the values of the company. A smart business model proven to be working with all signs pointing toward continual growth. Forward-thinking and always looking for a better answer to a specific challenge. Never satisfied with the norm. A clear and powerful mission that the whole company is aligned behind with the feeling that we can all make an impact on. With everything going on, leadership still promotes a good work and life balance.

Cons

When companies move as fast as this one does they tend to not put the proper systems in place to help scale. This has historically been a bit of an issue but to be expected for the rapid growth that we have gone through. That being said there has been a focused and pro-active approach to improving this in the past 6 months.

Pros

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Cons

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
