Pros

Hands down, the best team and the best manager I have ever worked with. Truly some of the kindest, talented, and inspiring humans.

Cons

The company is built on so-called values but it is a false foundation. I would not put your trust in this company and I do not expect it to succeed. Sadly, I believe this is the beginning of the end. The CEO abruptly and unexpectedly laid off half of the workforce with no advance notice. Even those that had worked for the company for years were left in the dark. The lack of transparency that led up to this decision is astonishing. Especially for a small company that considered itself a tight-knit and close community. RIF can be a part of business but how you it approach it means everything. A mass layoff with no advance notice right before the holidays? Merry Christmas.

Pros

- The majority of the team is great and everyone is always more than happy to help in any way possible. The ownership each person takes is very apparent. - The business is pretty dynamic and it can be exciting seeing priorities evolve as new learnings and data are uncovered. - Extremely data driven company. - Hybrid options if you prefer to be in person some portion of the time, also able to work fully remote if you’re not in a location with an office. - I was skeptical about unlimited PTO before joining but I’ve not once had a request for time off so much as questioned. - The team is dispersed but gets together in person 1-2 times per year.

Cons

- The company still hasn’t figured out a great way to provide clarity on what each function is working on across the company. Sometimes it’s tough to know what the other functions are prioritizing. - With how small the company is, it sometimes feels like too many people need to be involved to make a decision which can slow down progress. - Meetings are heavily geared towards west coast hours so if you’re in CT or ET you can sometimes have late meetings.
