Amazing concept- Horrid place to work

Pros

The mission truly profound as are my direct peers Note -they have new hires write on glassdoor in the first week so the things you read on here are not real.

Cons

• Bullying of middle management. For me it’s the right thing to bring this up as I watch several peers be bullied and treated unfairly • Unfair treatment. Absolute favoritism and people held to different standards among peers. One thing is expected of one person but not another in the same role. Favoritism • psychologically unsafe place to work. Everyone is uncomfortable and living in fear. When I first started things were incredibly inspiring, now that we are marching towards an IPO all care for employees is out the window. I’ve actually never felt this lack of care as a person at any other organization. It’s keep your head down…do your work, don’t get on someones bad side. No one will go to HR as HR is close to leaders . No one wants to risk speaking up at the cost of there job. I would reach out to several past employees before working here. If I didn’t love the mission I would leave. It’s hard to see peers being treated in my opinion with manipulation and abusive tactics. If I had to do it over I would encourage my company to buy BU but wouldn’t work here.

Pros

This is the best leadership I ever had the pleasure of working with. Alexi is just incredible, smart, approachable and very very able to drive the business to further success. His entire team is fantastic

Cons

The onboarding process was US focused and into the later hours of the evening (EU based). This has since been changed and improved.
