Pros

I have thought about this for a long time and came up with nothing

Cons

Do not work here if you are a minority or black, the culture is a mess and extremely uninclusive. I was a PM here, They overwork you and pull you in different directions, and they expect you to work overtime for free, and suffered Discrimination.I was onboarded for a week, made you buy your work computer, and fired me 5 weeks after starting on New years while I was on PTO with no warning. They manipulate you into signing an NDA so as to release your final paycheck. No 401k.I have never been so traumatized by a company.

Thank you for providing your feedback. We are very sorry that you didn't have a more positive experience at Gipper. We certainly acknowledge that working at a startup is different than most jobs - and does require flexibility and above average work ethic given the nature of a high growth, early stage company. To provide some context: We are committed to diverse hiring and you are a great example of that. We offer several different internal employee resource groups that you had the opportunity to join during your time with us. We also provide transparency regarding benefits during our offer process - so all candidates are well-aware of benefits before joining. As you know and received, we also provide all employees a generous technology stipend on their first day to purchase their own devices. We provide all employees a tailored onboarding process which includes an onboarding schedule that clearly outlines what their first few weeks on the job entails. This includes dedicated training sessions on our product, market, customers, and internal team - as well as self guided work. All managers provide coaching opportunities and individual 1v1s with employees to discuss performance on a weekly basis. These are all documented in our performance management platform so that there are clear expectations set. Thank you again for the feedback - whether positive or negative, all feedback is shared with senior leadership and seen as an opportunity to continue to grow Gipper into the best org it can be.

Pros

- startup in sports & education - customers love us, which is refreshing - product is awesome and getting better & better - people here work hard & care

Cons

- remote work & not a ton of opportunities to meet team in person (unless you are in nyc) - not going to get hand held, so requires being more of a self-starter / startup person

Pros

We built a social media graphics creation solution that schools loved, but it didn't get the investors the money they want. It seemed clients liked us, but we weren't profitable enough.

Cons

We now need to be profitable and enter new markets which is causing chaos. I wouldn't be surprised if the company goes under in the next year.
