Pros

Competitive pay and great benefits. They really do a good job recruiting talented people from diverse organizations and industries. Remote work is awesome. Culture can be cool—when the business is profitable and people aren’t in fear for their jobs.

Cons

Literally no actionable vision and long term planning from the executive team. Lots of promises and hype and not much backing it up. They just recently laid off half the company, many of the people laid off being hired quite literally a week or two previously-talk about not having a clue. Equally disturbing was the method in which the CEO announced the layoffs.. I’ve been involved with layoffs before, it’s apart of the business world but this was easily the most cowardly and non compassionate way it could have been handled. Zach Bruch, the CEO, with as little detail as possible announced over a 20 second zoom call that “hard decisions had to be made” and told everyone to reach out to their manager, before abruptly ending the zoom call before any kind of reaction could be warranted. Boom. End if it all. Half the company jobless. APPLICANTS BEWARE. They will promise a lot and make it appear as if they have a lot to give throughout the interview process. At the end of the day job security with Recur is no better than running a startup out of one’s garage and quickly over hiring to build hype, with a business model that doesn’t work. You’d be better off working with a company that you can be confident will not lay you off on a random whim or on any slight market downturn day.
