Pros

Flexible work remote policy, moderate effort to gauge employee satisfaction, 'try it, break it, try again' mentality, mission oriented, things are growing so you can help shape the strategy/product, founders are transparent about some things

Cons

Prioritizing growth over company culture, DEI is spoken about but doesn't feel prioritized in hiring or business objectives, medium to high turnover, pattern of firing people/laying them off and not talking about it, favoritism is strong, not a lot of space for horizontal or lateral career moves, a lot of room to improve team dynamics/integration post merger

Pros

Energized remote-first startup with innovative employees typically coming from great tech experience backgrounds. Mentorship and professional development is a priority for the team, and leadership tried to stay fairly connected with employees below them. Collaboration is innovative and dynamic with room for trial/error and brainstorming — definitely a fun place to work!

Cons

Reduction in force and uncertainty of what's to come. Lack of in-person touchpoints.

Pros

It gives a good exposure to coachees if you are looking for experience. That's all.

Cons

They have gone through changes in the management and they don't apply the coaching etiquette, values, communication systems to their coaches. They are cut throat, take a big cut, pay very little for high level coaches, and now have employees that are not educated to handle conversations, discuss questions, they are dismissive, and ironically for a coaching company, they are another cold corporation.
