Pros

- The talent at You.com is great. Everyone is passionate about what we're doing. - Growing company and endless opportunities to grow your skills/career. - Benefits are solid so the stage we are in, and I like seeing that as the company grows, benefit offerings are too.

Cons

Exec team is really tough. It is one of toughest groups I've worked with in my career. I feel comfortable talking in meetings with them, but a lot of the time I question why I do because they have their own goals. It's defeating because it feels like they include other voices to check a box. If the discussion isn't what they want to hear, they tune out and do what they want anyway. What ends up happening a lot of the time is leadership will run back to their teams when the problem hits, and many are too scared to say I told you so and work late hours to put out fires.
