Young leadership, too inexperienced to lead a company

Pros

Cool product with a lot of potential.

Cons

Very youthful founders with no prior work experience leads to a hectic and uncertain work environment. When things get tough, everything falls apart and there are no good communication pathways. In a recent layoff they handled everything extremely poorly including that they let go a high percentage of the queer staff on the second day of pride month.

Pros

- community first company - product-led growth - company spreads a lot of love and joy into the world - managers are fantastic - CEO and founders are on top of things and not afraid to go into the weeds - Perks are dope! Doordash budget: $60/per week, Learning budget, wellness budget, insurance covered, remote work budget - company encourages people to become nomads and travel - people genuinely care about you - People are always working hard and skilling up - Company socials and lunches are super fun because Gather Experiences is a part of our product. We are the testers to new and cool Gather Experiences - people travel and hang out with colleagues/crash at colleague's home -- colleagues are genuinely friends and look forward to meeting each other - company has raised a good chunk of money for building the metaverse - very mission-driven - colleagues are all unique and smart - there will be many companies built on top of gather. many many possibilities will be unlocked

Cons

- Lots of moving parts, some late nights - There will be things you do not want to do, but that is in every job - Redefining remote work is challenging but exciting

Pros

This is genuinely the best job I’ve ever had personally. The company culture is unparalleled. The care that goes into creating this platform and toward helping and listening to our clients is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. There is so much room for growth as well. I am excited to come to work every day. My coworkers have become my dearest friends, and since we are 100% remote work and spread all over the world I have never met a single one of them in person. I feel inspired to be a better worker at work, and a better person outside of work.

Cons

Gather is still a startup, and is still growing at a rapid pace which means it is ever changing. Every day is something new, and requires a lot more work that a standard workplace which may not be the best fit for everyone.
