Pros

Business idea is remarkable. Great market prospect. Dental and vision. Technology stack is improving.

Cons

No empathy for employees. Mediocre perks. "Unlimited pto" is not a benefit in this day and age especially if you can't utilize any of it. A lot of other companies provide it. No 401k match. Work life balance is a joke. An executive higher up literally encouraged new hires to work overtime if they wanted to succeed. Work place drama is unmatched. They'll watch your every action and makes big deal about everything you do. No regard for new hires. They want you to start making huge contributions right away from the day one you start. Otherwise good luck. Stressful work environment. No regard for your personal life. People are nice in meetings only. CEO gave a subtle warning at all hands that people may start leaving on will or if needed because company is growing. Growth is happening but there is no support for growth. So people are voluntarily leaving at a great rate too. Not good place to work. Those who "network" within the company get promoted. Others who are deserving but won't sell themselves won't. Gaudy upper management. A lot left in less than a year.

Pros

Extend is still a young startup, and the growth is significant from revenue and business expansion perspective. As an employee, that means you are always exposed with new exciting projects / problems every quarter if not every month. I was never bored over the past 4 years here from a work perspective. The leadership team is very energetic / transparent as well, and they always move FAST! That means if you are passionate with your career / growth, you are gonna feel fulfilled here.

Cons

Typical growing pain as a startup, sometimes work could be stressful given tight timeline.

Pros

Work life balance is what you make it. There are always things to work on and some people may burn themselves out trying to do it all. In the fast-paced start up environment that Extend is in, you have to manage that for yourself and work with your manager to push back when needed. Management is a real strength here. The leadership I have worked with truly care about their employees and are very open and honest with communicating what is happening at the company.

Cons

I don’t believe there are many people at the company with a solid understanding of the whole life cycle of our product from all aspects of the company. It’s challenging when something comes to your team and trying to determine ownership of who is responsible for correcting the problem.
