The worst place I've ever been employed

Pros

My colleagues were some of the best ones I've had and it was so great to work together. Fortunately, they no longer work here and are onto better things.

Cons

The company presents itself as progressive and empowering but the internal culture tells a very different story. Leadership’s behavior frequently contradicts the values they promote. There’s a pattern of poor communication, favoritism, and a lack of professionalism that leaves people feeling isolated and unheard. Burnout is very common and rarely acknowledged or addressed in a meaningful way. I've witnessed people being bullied and 'management' making inappropriate, even offensive, comments in group settings. When these concerns were raised, the “solution” was to assume the best of those responsible. On a professional level, I felt management was terrible but on a personal level, they are not good people at heart. Employees are lied to, gaslit, and made to feel inadequate on a regular basis. Speaking up in any way almost always backfires, which is why most people don’t. There are no real opportunities for growth unless you’re among the favorites and major decisions happen behind closed doors, with zero communication to those most affected. It’s disheartening to see a company built around women’s health fail so completely at supporting the well-being of the women (and men) who keep it running. I wanted to believe in the vision of Natural Cycles and for a time, I did, but I cannot in good faith recommend this company as an employer, or even as a product.

Pros

- a great company for a motivated, self-driven and ambitious person - output oriented, transparent & data-driven decision making (i.e. decisions based on evidence, not solely on personal opinion) - flat hierarchies, employees are empowered to try & test ideas, everyone is heard - company is in a good shape (after a hiccup earlier in the year) and growing - the product is great and our users are the best! - collaborative spirit in the team, lots of very talented colleagues, I enjoy working & learning in this environment and find it highly motivating

Cons

This is still a start-up company, so: - you can be required to step in and out of projects at short notice, you will not always/ only be working in areas you were hired to work on - sometimes you're winning, sometimes things look bleak - unsurprising for a company pioneering in a space that is being disrupted

Pros

- Company mission: amazing product with tremendous potential to positively impact millions of lives around the world - Always interested in improving - whether it be related to performance, process or culture - So much opportunity to grow - Incredibly intelligent and extremely empathetic co-workers

Cons

- Standard start-up woes (less a con and more of a confirmation - it's just like every other start-up!) - Time management can be difficult due to global company / multiple time zones
