Pros

- The company's people/HR team and senior leadership work together to evolve benefits to find the best fit for everyone and truly acts on culture surveys - Great culture of collaboration and transparency with great people - Amazing product that has product market fit and an avid fan following/power users

Cons

- Taking PTO was a big theme of encouragement because of Loommates burning out. What is shocking however are managers denying (unlimited) PTO which is extremely conflicting messaging and demoralizing when below the industry norm (and enough of a reason to quit) - There is no pay for performance culture. Doing work above-and-beyond expectations and getting verbal recognition and all is great but in a high-growth start-up, talk (alone) is cheap. You'll have the respect of your co-workers for a job well done but that's the line. Best bet in getting more compensation is finding another opportunity elsewhere. - Take firmer steps to avoid attrition. A lot of people have been joining the company but a lot of people have been leaving as well (regrettable)

Pros

Good advancement at first, recognition of my contributions to the team.

Cons

Promoted incredibly junior employees for management just to fill seats. They were abysmal and led to countless people leaving.
