Nailed the Employer Buzzwords

Pros

The concept is great and you’ll learn a lot about the whole business.

Cons

- They use all the buzzwords about “culture” and “values”, but they aren’t actually the case in practice when it comes to employees - Work/life balance is not a priority - High turnover - the company spends months trying to hire the perfect person, yet has lost the following in just the past 6 months: CTO, 2 VP’s, HR Manager, Recruiter, Facilities Manager, to name just a few. - They hire more C-level and VP level execs, yet ignore support needs of several teams, leaving many to work long hours juggling jobs for 3 people - It’s an environment where very few people are smiling and everyone is stressed or looks miserable. - Execs do not listen to input from subject matter experts on topics on which they’re leading but don’t know about themselves

Pros

The environment is suited to those who work collaboratively and cross functionally with different departments. Since they're growing fast, things change quickly and you have to think outside the box to provide solutions to problems. Smart, innovative, and creative team with exceptional leadership. Cool and fun headquarters.

Cons

It can be challenging for those who have worked it very large companies with lots of support. This is a very fast paced environment and not suited for everyone
