Toxic environment, poor leadership - Team Member Expa Employee Review

The work is interesting and constantly changing (never get bored!). There are always opportunities to learn and try new things. The people are amazing with lots of varied experience. Also though, they are genuinely kind, intelligent, scrappy, & driven individuals. It's an honor to have the opportunity to be exposed to so much talent.

There's definitely a lot of ambiguity here compared to a longer established company. The upside is that the maturity of the people helps cover for missing structure. However, in the long run, scaling up means also creating structure and process (which is going to be a series of trial and error). The only other con I can see is around managerial experience compared to a large company. Managers are often used to holding many hats and juggling them, so experience in delegating, communicating, and creating process can be a little foreign. That being said, they are also already working on continuing to educate their managers with regular managerial coaching sessions.

Incredibly smart staff with impressive experience. Team is kind and supportive. Passionate about building great products and hiring/retaining top talent. Beautiful office space and intentional events. Solid work/life balance with support and coverage. Top tier talent without top tier egos.

You have to be passionate and driven or this won't be the place for you. Also, if you are looking for a place with a lot of structure and process, you won't find it here- but you will be encouraged to follow that and create it for the company. Also, they really need to change the PTO policy, but know the team is working on it.
