Parabol Reviews

I'll try to just write a few: 1. Everyone at Parabol deeply cares about the humans that work here. I've never worked at a company with this level of trust before. 2. I suspect that most successful tech companies will look more like Parabol in the next ~10 years: highly transparent, value trust, fully remote with retreats, minimal meetings, empowering employees to make company wide changes, etc. These things don’t just make us happier but make business sense - I would bet money that the average tenure at Parabol will drastically exceed the industry average. Everyone is learning a valuable skill by being here and “living in the future.” 3. The company is doing well and we have high standards. A concern that I had in my pre-remote days was that remote work is great for lifestyle but not so good for career progression. I’m delighted that I’m learning more now than I was in an office and the company trajectory is very promising. 4. It’s an exciting time to join. Everyone at Parabol right now will hopefully get to see a tiny start-up grow into at least a medium sized one which should be an interesting and valuable experience.
