Pros

First Friday of the month off, unlimited PTO.

Cons

Company stuck in ‘start up’ culture, resistant to process implementation. Company and team priorities constantly changing making projects impossible to complete and OKRs impossible to fulfil. A lack of care for diversity (leadership are all men (majority white)). They hired a woman Chief People Officer who was gone after approx. 6 months (despite doing some great things for the people of Beamery). Her responsibilities were given to a man, unqualified to take these on. A poor culture around data. Seen examples of team leaders ignoring results that are negative and only interested in results that reaffirm what they are doing is the correct course of action. They spent huge amounts on media that produced little returns and ignored it until budgets were cut after another round of layoffs within the same year, despite it being regularly raised by team members. With this type of culture, it is no wonder they are in the financial position that they are. Some team leaders are lacking the experience necessary to support their team members. You will often see a lack of leadership and management skills if you have not diversified your experience. This leads to a lack of support and a feeling of isolation for those people in the team.
