Pros
- Mission-driven company, especially if you have an interest in health and wellness - User feedback is important and shared with the company - Employees are encouraged to use the app and given time during the day to meditate - Recognizable and inspiring brand and founder origin story - Hypothetically many ways to improve the existing app and extend/retain different user bases - They're in a hiring spree, so you should be able to negotiate successfully - There are pockets of employees who want to improve company culture and retainment
Cons
- High turnaround, they will tell you it's "growing pains" as a startup and not to read the reviews here - The apparent company-wide problems begin to unravel before your eyes weeks within joining and you'll discover people around you experienced that too - For a company that preaches to "improve the health and happiness of the world", they are not doing so internally - burnout is very common - Promises of career progression and growth are just a hiring pitch, you'll likely be lured in by a senior or director level title that has little substance - Inexperienced managers (many of which first time) who lack adequate training and have toxic leadership - Desperation for profitability with a subscription-based product leads to many "side projects" that are horrendously scoped and resourced - No transparency about company profits and finances - Speaking up on issues with culture, process, and problematic leadership will put a target on your back to be pushed out - The feedback and accountability culture is basically non-existent, the only people that thrive are the ones that people please, drink the Kool-aid, and throw others under the bus - "Unlimited" time off is a huge curse in disguise
