Pros

Some of the other reviews make me wonder if we're working at the same company. Glow Recipe is definitely a start up and resources can be lean. But the company has come a long way in a very short time because the company culture is scrappy. I think it's naive to expect a start up to have multiple departments including HR, accounting, IT. I've had abundant opportunity at this company to learn and shape my own role. For someone who enjoys solving problems and an entrepreneurial environment, it's exciting. There are a lot of opportunities to attend launch events and sometimes industry events. The co-founders are very experienced and work very hard. They are tough, but fair and I've learned a lot from them. The entire team is dedicated and you often get emails around the clock, but there is no expectation that you need to answer these after working hours. There are PTO days and health benefits. Plenty of free product.

Cons

The work is very demanding and fast paced and it requires a lot of multi-tasking. If you are the type of person who needs a lot of structure and hand-holding, this is not for you.

Pros

seeing many negative comments i thought to add some other comments, we tend to see only negative as humens so i get it... but man, there is also so much good out there. and when it comes to my work place, i love it! i love the product, i love my team, the opportunity to work on interesting subject. the story behind the company and the 2 founders. it has been 3 years and i don't see myself anywhere else.

Cons

none on my end, maybe the long hours i put sometimes but that's expected in sales.

Pros

Amazing employees that bond in the traumatic experience that’s is glow recipe.

Cons

- founders micro manage 10X - lack of care / concern for any employees. Coffee chats are set up for “feedback with founders” but if you share your true thoughts it’s held against you. - any one and everyone that has been good has left or is leaving - promotions don’t exist and they replace experienced leaders with junior talent - business decisions are atrocious and impact sales - the founders outright lie to the company. They said executives voluntarily gave up their bonuses so that we could all still receive one. Executives were forced to give up their bonuses.
