Pros

Other co-workers were great. Office space was good to be in when needed. Okay benefits.

Cons

Primarily the CEO. They try to emphasis the whole 'we're a family' bit, but when push comes to shove this is not how they act. You will be pressured to work extra things or time that weren't in your agreed upon job description. CEO will say they are 'disappointed in you' when you don't follow through on their unreasonable ask. They don't know what they are doing when it comes to working with actual people and interpersonal issues. They do not have an in-house HR department. There is no one older with a large amount of experience in these things, it's a bunch of young adults grasping in the dark in something they have little to no experience in. Very unprofessional.

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, room for growth, nice colleagues. Hang around long enough and you'll become a 'director'.

Cons

Uninspiring CEO. Lack of direction. No HR support. Tiring, clichéd, startup culture. They also only people under 35 years old to fit with their 'culture'.

Hi there, we value all feedback from current and past employees so that we can continue to improve as a company We’d like to take the opportunity to clarify a couple of things: - Promotion and growth in HeyOrca are not dependent on years of tenure but on merit. - At HeyOrca, we believe in supporting and growing leaders internally. Some of the ways we do this are by providing support through formalized training and providing opportunities for role changes that align with the employee's growth aspirations and interests. - Since 2019, we have been working with an independent HR firm for HR support and training for leaders and employees in the company. HR support is available to our employees at any time. -Diversity and inclusion is important to us and we strive to hire people from diverse backgrounds. Though we still have room to improve in this area, we are proud of the number of minorities in the company and women in leadership positions. We thank you again for your past contributions to the company and wish you all the best in everything that you do.
