Pros

- The team, I can't say enough good things about Ladder - they've become my family - You're able to be autonomous within your team and your position. Meaning, everyone is given ownership over their job and their voice is heard equally when in the room with everyone, even the CEO. - A shared purpose... Ladder exists to make the world better, and everyone on the team shares that same vision. You'll work hard, but you always know that it's worthwhile. - Free gym! The HQ gym is out of this world, so not only do you have an amazing job, but you also have access to a world class facility.

Cons

I really can't think of any. If anything, it would be awesome to bring back cold brew on tap!

Pros

The app is genuinely well-built. Clean UX, thoughtful design, and a product experience that holds up against anything in the space. You can tell real care went into the consumer-facing side of the business.

Cons

The org operates on a two-tier caste system, and it's not hidden — it's policy. Coaches are the golden class. Program managers exist to absorb the operational load that leadership doesn't want to deal with, and are treated accordingly. Different standards, different access, different respect. Don't expect that to be acknowledged, let alone addressed. The founder and CEO sets the tone for all of it. The favoritism isn't a cultural accident — it flows directly from the top. Coaches get visibility, latitude, and the benefit of the doubt. Program managers get process docs and blame. If you're not in the preferred lane, no amount of output will move the needle on how you're perceived or what you're given. Leadership mistakes proximity for performance and has built a feedback culture that rewards people who reflect the founder's worldview back at them. Dissent — even constructive — is quietly penalized.
