Pros

Truly remote-first culture, not just in name. Remote before remote was cool. You can genuinely work from home without pressure to be “always on" and you can know that there will absolutely never be a return to office mandate here. Work-life balance is possible, especially if you have a strong manager who advocates for their team and protects their time. Your day to day work is with genuinely great people. Leaving the people I worked with everyday was such a difficult decision to make.

Cons

Compensation is significantly below market rates, which makes retention and morale challenging over time. Everyone acknowledged this. Raises were rare and in the peak of inflation there was no raise. Recent struggles hitting company goals have led to very reactive decision-making. There’s a pattern of initiatives being rolled out without enough strategic planning, resulting in “two steps forward, three steps back” and lots of whiplash that results. Communication is severely lacking. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Acquiring and integrating very different companies has created operational friction. There often seems to be a lack of upfront planning, leading to a “building the plane while flying it” approach that doesn’t scale well at a larger company size. A few years ago at a One Day we were told the days of this are gone, but they have only increased since.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with BELAY. We’re grateful to hear that you experienced transparent leadership and the strong culture that our team works hard to cultivate each day. We also appreciate you sharing your perspective regarding growth opportunities. As a relatively lean and highly specialized organization, career paths can sometimes look different than they might in larger companies with many layers of management. That said, we are always looking for ways to invest in our team members through professional development, expanded responsibilities, and opportunities to grow their skills and impact. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving the experience for our team members, and we’re grateful you took the time to share it. We wish you the very best in your continued career journey.
