Don't work there unless it's your only option

Pros

It's really cool, according to the cool people. Having an excessive & disorganized workload with few opportunities for legitimate professional development constitutes trial by fire, which is sort of good if you can handle it. Snacks.

Cons

This place is all style over substance. Politics run rampant, inexperienced management has no idea how to improve things, employee turnover is through the roof with good cause. Either your career goes here to die or you get out and move up within a year or so.

Pros

I got to work on a few short projects where I learned a lot. Working on projects was engaging, even fascinating, because of how passionate the others were. We all cared about building great software the right way. That part was worth it, collaborating with so many wonderful people, and I'm thankful to have worked with all of them. The best part of Fueled was its people, but sadly, the vast majority are not there anymore.

Cons

I joined Fueled in 2022 when the company bit more than it could chew. It was such a good year for them that they hired dozens of us and flew us to a retreat; they expected many projects to come but instead kept us sitting around doing nothing for months. It was a bad year overall for tech in 2023; it was hard to find clients, but the leadership's decisions made it worse. They kept telling us it was all fine and not to worry about the decreasing numbers. At the same time, they chased around actually profitable companies looking to acquire them, eventually finding one, but it was too late. Then, the layoffs came, starting with a big round in November. Leadership assured us they fired the right amount of people to keep going steady until 2024, only to fire even more employees in December. I was part of the second round of layoffs; they fired me two weeks before Christmas. I can't say how many more they fired after that, but I can tell you the morale of the few remaining employees was terrible. I do not recommend applying there. The company will undergo more changes this year, and you probably don't want to be a part of that process. Perhaps after the dust settles, you might consider applying if Fueled survives.

Huge Potential, Needs Work

Pros

You're surrounded by very smart, interesting and passionate people. That shouldn't be a surprise. There's plenty to learn, and the work is unique. You will learn things here you cannot learn anywhere else. Exposure to networking you can't find anywhere else, period. Strong startup culture environment.

Cons

Plenty of growing pains, lack of structure in areas where it is desperately needed. Senior management lacks experience in running an agency, directly managing a team, and setting strong, positive expectations and goals. Day-to-day work can be frustrating and incredibly unpredictable. Many employees go underutilized and underappreciated. Moral isn't as high as it could be. Development team is disconnected from the rest of the team. Strong startup culture environment.
