Pros

Unlimited PTO Seamless Stipend Good Benefits Package Nice People

Cons

PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE RECENT POSITIVE REVIEWS - MANAGEMENT IS TRYING TO MAINTAIN WITHIN's REP I loved working here, I really did. However, the decisions they have made the past three months have been beyond idiotic. In March we had a company retreat to Nashville, which the CEO covered everyone's flight and hotel expenses. One month later 40+ WITHIN employees are laid off. Supposedly this "wasn't a financial matter", and more of a problem with WITHIN being too "top heavy" having way too many people who were higher ups that were doing entry level type of work. An employee asked if layoffs were going to happen again in the near future. In the words of Joe Yakuel "I do not foresee us having any layoffs in the future". WRONGGGGGGGGG. Two months later 100+ employees were laid off. Half of the company gone. Why you may ask? Because they're doing poorly financially. 100+ people out of jobs in a recession. The severance package? An actual joke. Straight up awful. Step down Joe, this is not your calling!

Pros

Remote work. Weekly Meal Bonus

Cons

One of the biggest concerns is that many managers are very early in their careers, often with only a few years of experience. While they are energetic and well-intentioned, they generally lack the leadership and client-facing experience needed to effectively support their teams. This becomes particularly noticeable in high-pressure situations or when managing complex client relationships. Team allocation is another issue. Employees are typically assigned to teams without much consideration for their preferences or long-term development goals. This lack of flexibility can make it difficult to build a career path within the company. Work-life balance is also a major drawback. Long hours are the norm, and working late into the night—sometimes until 10 PM, 11 PM, or even midnight—is quite common. The workload is consistently heavy across most teams, and expectations can feel overwhelming, especially without strong managerial support. Additionally, the company appears to have relatively high turnover. There have been reports of significant layoffs in the past, and the cycle of hiring and attrition seems ongoing. This creates a sense of instability and makes it harder for teams to maintain continuity.
