Pros

Flexible work hours, good benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc.) and abundant snacks are the pros I can say still exist. Many of the pros I would have put here just a few months ago have taken a big step back and are now cons for me.

Cons

-As much as HR and other senior leadership members are trying to spin things, there is a lot of truth here. I actually wouldn't be surprised if HR is in the dark on the matters referenced here about inappropriate relationships because I can't imagine they'd stand for it. It is an absolute fact and it has been persistent for a long time, even before the current HR leader arrived. It is ridiculously unprofessional and demoralizing to be part of an organization "led" by people with such a lack of character and judgement. -There are a lot of great people at Distil. Unfortunately, that is quickly diminishing. -The culture was a big selling point for me coming here. We've had some great times. The culture has been rapidly declining and the recent layoffs certainly won't help. Obviously, this can happen at companies -- it's not the first time I've seen it -- but I really don't see who is really going to turn this around. Those managers/leaders who understand how to grow and motivate people are really lacking here.

Pros

Having spent time at both large corporate companies and now having been at Distil for some time I can say confidently that there are some great things to consider for being a part of the Distil team. I first want to start with Trust. At Distil, we trust that when we hire talent that they will be driven and have the tenacity to drive innovation and progress with the respective projects. Since I have been at Distil I have never felt like the company does not trust my work ethic and does not see the value of why I am here. Something that really made a positive impact and is worth sharing is the consideration and thoughtful approach to parental leave. I recently took some time off for parental leave and the way it was handled was top notch. Not only was it messaged multiple times to take the time needed and not worry about work but I also received a personal note at home while I was out on leave from the company welcoming our new addition. Something small but overlooked by a lot of companies. Amazing Product that solves an important problem. A Highly Talented Team

Cons

Not many cons from my experience. There are some areas for opportunity around continued skill development, feedback loop, and professional growth within the company.
