Pros

-Free lunch twice a week -Low deductibles in the US for benefits -Fully stocked kitchen -Exposure to senior leadership -Good product with high growth opportunity -Lots of employee events to build a sense of community

Cons

-Lots of politics (I would say more so than other NYC companies) -Lack of diversity in leadership (especially at the exec level) -Not a culture of development (there is no patience for development, if you aren't cutting it you get the boot) -No real feedback process(there is no formal talent review process which it makes it difficult to assess where you are at)

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)

Pros

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
