Pros

Really great team. Employees are smart, creative, and passionate about the mission. Free lunch Mondays + Wednesdays. Trendy L.A. Office Opportunities to grow in an undefined space.

Cons

Shady politics and hasty firings. In the last year WITHIN has silently fired a number of employees. This is obviously very disconcerting to me and much of the team. With a few exceptions, it seems that when there are issues between two people in the org one of them is pretty immediately let go with little to no notice. This is horrifying! No P.I.P.s, group discussions, forewarnings or anything. I'd like to encourage my job-seeking friends to work here but I'm honestly concerned they'll get caught in the politics and be on the chopping block before they reach their second year. As you can imagine, it also negatively impacts team morale. I've never worked at a place that fires like this. Crossing my fingers for my job.

Pros

Actual talent there is amazing in engineering and art. Great people to work with in the engineering team and made it nice to work with people.

Cons

The upper level people have little to no direction. Basically a bunch of Hollywood people that say whatever it takes to yes man their way to the top. The engineers get pulled left and right with no direction and theres constant pressure to meet unrealistic expectations. Also people who work their butt off get fired out of no where or basically treated like garbage simply because someone is told reality.

Pros

The team here shares an incredible level of integrity and high standards to their work, which I love. This work ethic spans from design to artistry, management, engineering, and production. Most team members are fascinating people on their own with much to offer the company and the work environment. There is also much opportunity here at Within to step in and wear many hats should you take initiative to. Perks such as a new office located in Culver City, lunch twice a week, and the typical flexible startup culture and mentality make Within a great place to work. Relatedly, there is a strong sense of camaraderie within members of the organization.

Cons

The major con is that as a startup I don't find the C-suite particularly inspiring. They seem highly artistically capable, but their business savvy, level of involvement, and willingness to sit alongside the team through long hours and tight deadlines isn't as impressive as what I've noticed in other startups. Hopefully that will continue to improve and develop.
