Pros

In my 6 months with Origami I have been very impressed with the culture, especially with how it is espoused by senior leadership, starting with the CEO. Origami extends transparency, trust and respect to its employees through monthly town halls in which employees are free to ask the CEO unvetted questions, a (pre-pandemic) hybrid work model, and recent change to a flexible/unlimited PTO plan in most locations. I found compensation and benefits to be competitive, with a few surprising perks. Work-life balance is encouraged, as leadership understands building a best in class business is a marathon, not a sprint. Annual colleague surveys generate feedback that is listened to and acted upon. Jerkish behavior is not tolerated and fun is encouraged. I love coming into the office and participating in the many optional social events (happy hours, book club, volunteering, etc).

Cons

Growing pains: Origami has grown (and is growing) exponentially, which is very exciting, but there are some areas where the tools, systems, and processes in place need to be scaled up. Leadership is aware of these needs and is working to improve them.

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.
