- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The mission, and some of the team.
Cons
-The CEO has a grudge against people who worked at the first version of the company and takes it out on everyone who works at the second version of the company. Instead of taking responsibility as a company for past mistakes they throw the founders under the bus which makes for bad morale. -The Customer Service team was expected to be seen and not heard. While the rest of the company was encouraged to ask questions during all hands, the CS team was told to run questions past their direct managers first. This most likely to the CS team asking hard questions the CEO and COO didn’t want to answer. -CS team was a very close group, CEO and COO didn’t like that and tried to punish CS for it. -The HR team has the highest turn over in the company -The CEO doesn’t seem to care at all about the company only their ego. Any meeting or diversity celebration they turn the conversation to be about themselves. Not something you want to see from a leader of your company. -The company is not transparent at all, they don’t mention when people are hired, re hired or leave. They act like it’s a huge secret which is weird and again is horrible for morale.

A great mission ruined by poor leadership.

The company has a great mission and could provide real help to people who need it, if leadership could focus and execute.
Cons
To start with, don't bother working here if you are Jewish. I had to deal with more snide remarks and "jokes" there than anywhere else. Including from C level executives. It's a serious problem, especially for a company that broadcasts their commitment to diversity. Leadership, from C level down to project management, can't seem to focus or execute. Things like plagiarizing your competitor's marketing seems to be fine with everyone.
