Pros

Super friendly, big emphasis on culture, good pay. Yearly meetup to cool places (Santa Cruz, Costa Rica, etc). Fully remote work.

Cons

No real room for promotions. If you don't fit in any more, they'll drop you without much in the way of warning.

Pros

Pros: - Four day workweek - Fully paid insurance (including vision and dental) - 401k - 3-5 week minimum PTO

Cons

- CEO and exec team. - If you speak up or out against leadership, management, decision making, or the direction things are going, you are branded a "core value" misfit and either pushed out or fired. - Poor (basically non-existent) manager training. - Limited job growth opportunities. Very flat org chart. - Job responsibilities/scope creep outside of the 4DWW, so you're working on Friday anyway. - Feels like working for a cult. Seriously. And you see it much more clearly when you're out. - Lots of "pretty" core value language, strategy docs, and "company culture" mindset, but behind the curtains, it's a company looking to make money. There's not the loyalty you think there is. - Firings occur with no warnings, no PIPs, and you have no way to defend yourself.
