Pros

- Nice office for a startup, pre-COVID - Decent location (SoHo) - There are still a handful of exceptional people working there, who deserve greener pastures

Cons

- Poor leadership and management - Exploitation is favored; employees are maltreated, often lied to, pitted against one another, and manipulated - Extremely toxic culture; unhealthy work environment that is encouraged and rots from the head-down - Unclear future and longevity of company given their product and business model in current times

We have always felt strongly about putting people first at ROOM, both internally with our team, and externally with our customers and partners. I am so sorry to hear that you had this experience, and take ownership as Head of People and Culture that we did not uphold these ideals or fulfill this mission from your perspective. We take your concerns to heart, and are continuously working to improve ourselves, our culture, and our business overall, to ensure that our existing team members, and future team members, experience the people-first culture that has been top priority since our company’s founding. I hope you have found an exciting new opportunity, and that you and your family are healthy and safe
