Pros

I've been at Origami for a couple of years now and I love it here. We have a great collaborative environment with amazing colleagues. We are growing quickly, so everyone is busy, but there is also great work/life balance and people are respectful of other's time. Origami was recently ranked the best place to work in Chicago by Crain's Business (based in significant part on actual employee surveys), and I completely understand why - people generally love it here.

Cons

None at all - I've greatly enjoyed my time at Origami since I've started here

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.
