Pros
1. Entrepreneurial. Despite growth and success, Lose It! has maintained internally an entrepreneurial feel in terms how it makes decisions, moves quickly, and addresses market challenges.
2. Benefits. Lose It!'s employee benefits package is legit off-the-charts amazing, I've never experienced anything like it at any other company. Top of the line health and medical, flexible vacation policy, and a yearly retreat to an international city are among the many benefits I appreciate most.
3. Empowerment. Employees are regularly included in the company planning process, the CEO and President give weekly updates on the company, and I truly feel I have a voice and input on the work that is to be done and how to go about doing it.
4. Caring "Family" atmosphere. Hard to maintain when a company keeps growing, but there remains still a general feeling of being part of a "Lose It!" family. A feeling that folks care about you, and that the company takes care of you in ways large and small. This has been part of the culture from the original founders and is carried through today with the current CEO and President.
5. Smart, Talented Employees. Hiring good talent can be difficult, and not everyone winds up being a good fit, but by and large Lose It!'s team is composed of very smart and talented people, who I am proud to work with.
Cons
Really one of the few downsides I can think of at Lose It! is in the area of engineering capacity. We have so many great opportunities and great ideas, it becomes a challenge to find the engineering capacity to work on them (which is why we are aggressively hiring!).
