Pros

The company's core values are centered around ownership and impact, not face time or time spent at the company. This empowers employees to work as hard as they want to, and rewards employees who make a big impact in a short amount of time. The culture of YipitData is ideal for anyone that likes to be surrounded by extremely intelligent, ambitious people that want to work hard, learn new things, and achieve company and personal goals. At the same time, everyone is able to maintain a healthy work life balance because employees are given significant independence in determining their own work schedule, vacations, time spent working from home, etc

Cons

This place is awesome, so there aren't really any legitimate cons. The only con I can think of is that you probably won't make as much money as you would working at a hedge fund or some other high paying job, but that is to be expected when working at any startup. That being said, this company does pay very well compared to other startups

Pros

Ownership is a real concept. Growth and evolution of the company has been extremely interesting to be a part of. People here hold themselves to a super high standard.

Cons

Communication/change management could be improved. With rapid growth and new business units popping up, it can lead to silos between teams.

Pros

Most were easy to work with and low-ego, and the general vibe within teams was largely relaxed. Opportunities for skill development Structured approach to onboarding is helpful for new hires

Cons

It was nice for a while, but things became increasingly corporate and opaque. The first round of layoffs damaged trust in leadership, and subsequent decisions around cost-cutting and organizational changes did little to restore it. Midway through my time here, I was reassigned to a new reporting line and it quickly became clear it wasn’t a great fit. Priorities and expectations shifted constantly, and feedback was solicited from my peers in a way that felt more punitive than developmental. I shared with leadership and HR that this dynamic was stressful and uncomfortable, and while there were some basic attempts to mediate, the issues continued, and my request to move to a different reporting line was denied. When our team was asked to document all of our projects and processes, I asked if it seemed a little strange. We were assured it wasn’t, and that they just needed super detailed instructions for everything we did so that they could free us up for better, higher-impact work! With hindsight, being laid off a month later made sense. It was disappointing and weirdly heartbreaking to have been so engaged with the company, only for the process to feel so impersonal and transactional.
