Pros
Company is generous with PTO unless you're on the sales team, very solid benefits.
Cons
Where would I even begin. I'd first start by saying that this company is oddly, and I mean very, very weirdly obsessed with fresh grads coming out a college placement program that places new graduates with employers. There's a good chance your hiring interview will be conducted by these 21 year old kids who will judge you ruthlessly after the interview, as if they have any experience whatsoever about anything they're talking about. The conversations I've overheard have been some of the meanest and rudest things I've ever heard in corporate America. The company only wants to hire young students who have never held another prior job. This is so they know nothing and won't see how absolutely horrible these human beings treat each other. If you are one of these students, you'll probably do just fine, because they'll be obsessed with you. If not, I cannot stress enough how much to avoid this place. Also, no one is safe here, remote or otherwise, but they truly despise that they have to hire remote talent because it's not available in Charlotte. Particularly for engineering, that talent isn't available in Charlotte, so if you're hired remote, they WILL be looking to replace you with someone local as soon as possible. The folks that have been with the company for a few years are treated like royalty, and anyone new is treated like pure worthless garbage. Many, many employees are fired in the 4-6 month time-frame. If they simply don't like you for whatever reason, regardless of "performance," you're gone without severance. That's important too, this company doesn't pay severance, and avoids it by placing you on a "PIP." A PIP to them is just a couple week's notice letting you know you're gone soon. I couldn't recommend enough to pay for premium LinkedIn to see how short the average tenure is with the company, IF they're not embarrassed enough to leave it off their resume. You can read in other reviews about the horrible management and hiring this place conducts. They go through manic, extreme levels of hiring, only to realize they've overhired, then layoffs, then rinse and repeat. What's sad is the CEO seems decently smart, he is one of the cockiest individuals you will ever meet. The company is super small, maybe 100 people, and I probably only spoke with him once or twice. Only a select few are allowed to speak with him directly. This is not a place where you will know your coworkers or leadership personally. Every person I know that was laid off during the mass layoffs never had any communication with the CEO or leadership during the process, which is insane for such a small company. The company never did well enough financially to go through the rapid hiring it does, but the CEO explicitly stated that he truly thought the company would 20x in the next couple years, and they would need thousands of employees because of that. Everything at the company is dictated by outside investors, and pressure funnels its way at the top and will make it all the way down to you. You will be blamed personally for every single little thing that goes wrong, when I mean literally, whether you had anything to do with it or not. DebtBook overall is just one of the weirdest places ever, like I said, if you're one of those who have been with the company for years, they'll put on the happiest faces and I'm sure it's truly a great time for them. For everyone else, it's just an incredibly stressful place where you just want to get home as soon as possible, and you know you're just counting down your days until you're out of a job. Also, speaking of outside investors, the equity they give you is microscopic and worthless, and I have no doubt will continue to be diluted when they are forced to raise more rounds of funding. Take the reviews posted here very seriously. I'd only consider working for the company if you're looking for a 6 month gig or you're just very desperate.
