Very intense workload - Anonymous employee Scoutmob Employee Review

hip office and team members

no longer around, company changed ownership

There are some amazing people I worked with during my time here I still keep in contact with. These people became my friends and network which landed me the position I am in today. If they did one thing well, they hired some decent people. Cool space, snacks in the kitchen, fun office events. The Halloween party was cool. Curatied some great vendors for Shoppe.

It's amazing that both the founders left after the big layoffs. One continues to "help" start-ups and has said at a talk "he likes to help begin journies, not end them". It is amazing now that this person runs a very trendy, waitlisted "rent a desk" space a la WeWork while offering "consultation". Very clique-heavy space. Oh, you shop at Madewell? Instantly ostracized. There was a hierarchy of who was at the top and who was not. If you were not, you sadly were more likely to be affected by the layoffs. No clear direction of work, just entering in images and text, emailing makers for Shoppe, and having many pointless meetings. Yes, there was "flexible" PTO but you had to be on call no matter what. It was impossible to get a full week off with no work. On top of that, the majority of us supplied our own laptops and accessories.
