Pros

People are friendly (as they often are in cults)

Cons

This place is so fascinating, they truly do believe they’re changing the world but they can’t articulate how. It’s an extremely low trust environment where micromanagement runs high. There are dozens of managers and directors with zero direct reports. Titles and org structure make no sense and are built without any future direction in mine. I knew on day 1 of onboarding this place was inane and not for me and prioritized getting out ASAP. It’s a constant feeling of “the adults are talking now.” My department was 25+ people and 3 were women and 2 were people of color.

Pros

Honestly the PTO and some of the people are pretty solid

Cons

Yeah, it is an over glorified call centre with minimal benefit. Definitely feels like there is a lack of growth despite being in a fake urgency of “unicorn super growth”
