Pros

Some benefits. WFH flexibility even before Covid.

Cons

Trint has a beautiful facade looking from the outside, but inside is a totally different story. This is a company built and managed by an ex broadcaster with no previous experience in the business/tech world. Red flag because there will poor vision and strategy and the company's market positioning is missed. Favouritism is a real problem at Trint, which can lead fo bullying for the less strong employee and the lack of inclusion in decision making is alarming. Executive copy/paste from Google for when they have to present of train us. There is no human side to the company and all employees are valued on a ROI basis. Really bad and against all the value they claim to stand by.

Thanks for your feedback regarding your experience working at Trint. It is disappointing to hear that we have fallen short of your expectations. We humbly recognise that we can’t please everyone and that not everyone is the right fit for the company. I don’t think you need to wave a red flag. As CEO and Founder I have been very transparent about what I do know and what I don’t know. In the early days I used to say to prospective investors: “I’m the least qualified person in the room to run a startup, I just have what I think is a really good idea.” Six years later we are a team of almost 100 with The New York Times as the lead investor in our recent funding round. We now have a seasoned management team, staffed with people who know how to scale a business. It’s been an imperfect journey for sure, but I’m really proud to have built the leadership team and to have made the building of Trint a collective, collaborative effort. We’re sorry to hear that you felt our approach to decision making wasn’t inclusive and that we only value employees on a ROI basis. We absolutely value the input and ideas from our team members and seek to obtain this from the regular surveys we conduct, regular internal newsletters with updates from each team, ‘Ask Me Anything’ sessions we hold on a monthly basis with each team and through our twice-annual Strategy Weeks. Thanks for your feedback. We wish you all the best for the future. Jeff

Pros

The teams are quite competent It is a social company with great rapport and so collaboration in work is easier

Cons

A smaller number of employees so the work load is heavier with not many who will have similar expertise to lean on This can also lead to pressure moments in a quarter where a lot is asked and not much is appreciated
