Pros

The mission and values of this company is awesome, the people are generally great, you get to attend all the conferences for free, you get up to 4 paid volunteer days, you get unlimited time off, free access to the company's travel itineraries, and the list goes on. Additionally, there's a lot of people which seem to have been promoted fast.

Cons

Seems like there are a lot of people which weren't good hires - they don't understand the fast pace, ever changing start-up environment. In turn, they get frustrated very easily. The best thing the company can do is put structure in place to set expectations for what someone is walking into. It's all around has an awesome mission and values, and it's a cool/fun working environment, but it's not for everyone.

Pros

The health insurance wasn't a nightmare to navigate.

Cons

Blavity's micromanagement was absolutely suffocating. I literally could not send a client email without someone questioning my word choice or demanding to know why I included that person on the thread. Every single decision got routed through some approval chain and nobody would even explain why they said no, just "not approved" and silence. I started to feel like my manager was waiting for me to fail, like the hiring process was a mistake and now I had to prove myself every single day all over again. By my third month there I completely stopped suggesting anything because every idea got was the kind of slow trust erosion where you don't notice it happening until you realize you've already mentally checked out.
