Pros

The mission drew me to the company as well as a referral from one of my friends. The focus on fitness is really cool.

Cons

The working environment is best described as toxic as it's very clear the management team has no idea what it's doing and the business model is not proving itself out. We keep running failed experiment after failed experiment and our chances of getting additional funding are very low (who wants to invest in a company with zero growth and no revenue). Then we keep spending money on stupid marketing deals which have no results. For now I am keeping my head down and working on some side gigs while I wait for the layoffs to come - probably in May.

Hi! We are very sorry to hear you're having such a negative experience. We would love to discuss this with you 1:1 if you're comfortable and certainly if you have ideas on how we can do better we would love to hear them. While it saddens us that you aren't feeling fully focused here, we hope there is an opportunity for us to discuss this with you and turn things around. Thanks!
