Pros

Engineers are fully integrated into the business and our work delivers direct and obvious value to the business. The engineering department is split into teams and each is aligned with a business unit: Styling, Ops, Marketing and Merchandising. We work closely with our business partners (no product managers) and enjoy a great level of trust. We also get to use the tools and processes within teams we like and are encouraged to deliver high quality software instead of rushing to deliver 'story points'.

Cons

The only downside is the rapid growth of the company, which puts external pressure on everyone to deliver more. We seem to be doing a decent job of managing it sensibly though.

Pros

You are able to work from home

Cons

Very unmotivating work environment. You get a couple of small raisies when you first start but then they cut off raises and expect you to perform at 100% efficiency 100% of the time. There is no motivation to do so. You are basically chained to you desk while you style because everything you do is timed. They provide no tools or stipend for the items you need in order to work from home. No internet stipend, nothing towards your computer, I never even got a pencil after being there 5 years. You have little no interaction with other people. The inventory is poor. Management is always turning over. I think I had about 8 different managers over my 5 years there. They mico manage you. You would think styling would be a creative job but not here. You don't even get to write your own note to a client anymore. AI writes it and you pretty much have to go that route bc you have about 8 minutes to style a client to stay within your efficiency goals. Overall its great that you can work from home but the job is extremely unmotivating and not rewarding. There is no room for advancement. DO yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This is not the company or culture you want.
