Pros

It’s a great product that’s making a difference, the team is very hardworking. As far as day to day my immediate managers are the best I’ve ever had. The company as a whole has also handled the pandemic really well.

Cons

There’s a very clear hierarchy which makes sense for it being a company but given our current size it can feel a little insulting if you’re working one of the lower tier jobs. Often I’m wondering if I should applaud the transparency or question if they think the little guys are just obtuse. Additionally, the pay isn’t great which doesn’t feel great when you feel like a cog in the machine.

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.
