Pros

- Remote work - Unlimited PTO - Flexible schedules - Knowledgable colleagues - Great learning opportunity

Cons

Colleague morale was very high when I started at Origami. Colleagues were motivated to collaborate together, and clients were happier. As we’ve grown, I’ve seen colleague morale and client satisfaction take a sharp nosedive due to increased expectations and increased workloads. The company seems to be solely focused on growth and has forgotten about client and colleague satisfaction. We have been through many organizational changes that have been difficult, vague, and constantly evolving. We are understaffed in many departments and will not be hiring for relief until we prove the value of the newer roles, which is impossible when we’re all doing two jobs at once and are still being asked to do more and more outside of our job descriptions. Colleagues are getting burned out, and clients are getting frustrated. Communication about the organizational changes has been horrible both internally and externally. I wish Origami would revert back to the way it was years ago.

Pros

The only pro of this company is the fully remote work (which also comes with its cons).

Cons

It’s a long list: 1. Micromanagement 2. Politics 3. Promoting long time buddies (with no skills) over skilled young professionals. 4. Ignoring company values when it comes to internal mechanics. Suddenly things aren’t important enough if it doesn’t make you money. 5. Complete misalignment between sales, product and engineering. They sell everything that’s not even in the pipeline for product. 6. The CPO and VP of Product are circus heads, not real professionals. 7. People with different opinions aren’t appreciated. 8. Slack and Outlook tools are monitored for status and location just to come up with any reason for layoffs. 10. Base comp is okay at first but then capped strongly.
