Pros

There were some great people there at one point and still are a few, beautiful office, all the typical perks of a startup in terms of amenities, PTO, good benefits, snacks, cold brew, etc. if you're into that. The base platform is solid and easy to use.

Cons

Poor leadership in just about every area, more concern with the facade of culture than the culture itself, which can be toxic, extremely high turnover (voluntary and involuntary) even before the pandemic, and a general sense of rudderlessness from the top down.

Hi there - thanks for taking the time to post your comments. As a leadership team, we read and discuss every review (the positive ones and the tough to swallow ones) all in the spirit of trying to make things better. It's a process which means we're not finished but we're definitely committed to improving. The COVID-19 period remains a challenge that none of us saw coming but we'll continue to build a business we can all feel proud of. All the best for your next steps.

Pros

I started here recently, and have been overwhelmed by the positive and friendly reception I've received from the team. So far my experience has been incredibly wonderful, with an emphasis on collaboration and an overall drive to grow and move quickly. Benefits are uniquely amazing, including Nice Days and a yearly Work From Anywhere stipend. We are positioned to add a ton of positions this year, so growth potential is limitless~ I'm really excited for the future.

Cons

Since we're still in startup mode, we're still figuring things out. There aren't uniform processes set in place for everything yet, so if you struggle with a bit of ambiguity this might not be the right fit for you. However, if you love to figure things out, build processes and work together to discover best practices, this would be a great fit!
