Pros

Company is very people focused. It’s a very passionate and collaborative team and a great place to work. They are the NICEST people. High growth so a lot of opportunity for talented folks to learn and grow with interesting problems to solve. Exec team takes the time to listen to feedback and is very transparent. There’s ZERO drama.

Cons

It’s a startup so that style environment needs to work well for you and you need to be motivated and self directed. Occasionally the dogs in the office are so cute you get distracted. No 401k match yet which is typical for this stage company. Would prefer Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance.

Pros

Embark is an incredible place to work! You get to dive into a variety of projects, and the team is extremely tight-knit, fostering real opportunities for growth. Your voice is heard, and people genuinely value new ideas. Everyone is hardworking, open-minded, and excited to take on challenges—it truly feels like a family (or a dog pack!). The perks of working for a dog-focused company speak for themselves—who doesn’t love dogs? Plus, the benefits are excellent, with great healthcare, work-from-home flexibility, and an office in Boston for those who prefer in-person collaboration.

Cons

The office space is on the smaller side, but with the shift toward remote work, it’s been a smart and natural transition. The previous larger space wasn’t necessary for how the company operates now.

Pros

The team is genuinely passionate about helping pet parents understand and care for their dogs.

Cons

The CEO creates a toxic culture. He frequently gossips about his direct reports behind their backs and even to their more junior team members. This has created constant and significant churn among the executive team which leads to paralysis in the organization. The company is in a negative growth spiral and there is no coherent plan to correct it.
