Pros

-Flexible work hours & remote-first -Unlimited PTO -Access to all the coaches is amazing, and the coaches themselves are great -Lots of potential to impact peoples lives

Cons

I never write negative reviews on anything, but I felt I had to put this experience out there for future potential employees to know. I was laid off along with ~20% of the company right before christmas. Layoffs are totally understandable, and a business decision that one cannot take personally. However, how a company handles it says so much about their leadership and true colors. The lack of transparency was appalling. We were all told the company was doing considerably well in the last all-company meeting. The day the layoffs happened, some people were shut out of their system access before they were told they were laid off (!!!). There was no thank you, no recognition for the hard work the ~20 ppl put in during their time there, no chance for anyone to say goodbye or even gather personal information off their drive. Then the company follows this with a policy that prohibits current employees to give public references (ex: LinkedIn recommendations) to past employees. Absolutely awful. During my time there, there were lots of red flags: -There is a lack of solid leadership across departments, as well as *micro-managing from the very top down* -There's no structure in place for career growth -There's very rarely all-hands meetings, which as a result keeps people in the dark about company updates & health, and are very siloed in their work -Company events were always cancelled, which made the company seem very flaky -Overall, the company is very disorganized

Pros

This was the best team I’ve ever worked for and the best work I’ve ever done. For the short time I was there, I thought I had finally found my place.

Cons

One day, the company announced via slack message that they were bankrupt and shut down. It was just a short “whoopsie” message with a sad face emoji tacked on at the end. In one day, thousands of people were unemployed. Not only that, but many of those people never got paid for months of work. The company had no money and hadn’t paid many of us for weeks or months. Not only did I lose a job, I was cheated out of $12,000 in unpaid checks.
