      Pros

      Brand with opportunity to grow in marketplace. Opportunity to learn many different parts of the brand, as most employees do more than their role states. Good benefits and PTO. Operationally the company is pretty sound and has SOPs decently dialed.

      Cons

      Majority of team has left the company in the last 6 months due to policies and lack of trust from CEO. CEO has never led a company before and is unable to make decisions for the business that will help it succeed. Salaries are well below average, and company is not hitting goals so bonuses are rarely paid out. Culture has completely fell off since CEO was hired. CEO seems to try to fix things, but not sure he is qualified to do so.

      Pros

      Being on a small team in a startup allows you to have way more impact on the company than working at a bigger company. I like that Puffin gives a lot of control and autonomy to it's employees.

      Cons

      The culture has been difficult to nail down. There have been so many changes over the years, some for the better, some for the worse that it gets hard to settle into a stable culture.

      "Fun" Culture Can't Mask Underlying Issues

      Pros

      Puffin is a fun, energetic startup with a promising product. The team is collaborative, hard-working, and a joy to spend time around. The company allows dogs in-office. The small team size allowed me to learn a lot and grow within my role.

      Cons

      Be wary of a company that touts "fun" as a benefit. Aside from the generous PTO policy, benefits are lackluster and work/life balance is not prioritized. Recent policy changes coupled with inconsistent rule enforcement across departments have created a toxic environment riddled with frustration and trust issues. Management is more concerned with employee's physical presence in-office rather than performance. Work from home policy is rigid and doesn't reflect the changing needs of the workforce. Compensation falls short of market value, and raises do little to keep up with the high cost of living in Bend.
