Poor work-life balance, No transparency, underpaid workforce

Operations

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Stock options that can potentially be worthwhile if the company eventually goes public

Cons

Average work week of 60+ hrs Working every single weekend is a norm No transparency on future plans, Upper management is completely dishonest and untrustworthy Underpaid full time offer High stress environment Several of my coworkers are contractors whose contracts were promised to be renewed yet when brought up recently they were essentially given no answers — extremely poor ethics in this regard considering we’re in a pandemic, this simply shows that the company does not care about its workers. At least be transparent about future plans so people can prepare accordingly.

High impact work at fast growing company

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Scale is a very fast growing company. As a result, you get to work on very interesting, high impact problems that would be above your paygrade somewhere else. The result is that you do work quite hard, but you also learn a lot in the process and meet some very accomplished people.

Cons

If you are looking for an easy, 40h per week job, Scale is not the place. I would recommend that you go to a large tech company instead.

I am clinically diagnosed with PTSD

Pros

Scale employs talents with a brilliant mind to create really cool products. The company grows very fast so you are going to learn a lot, things that are way above your paygrade

Cons

I recently left scale to pursue another opportunity, but the primary reason I left is because of the severe burnout from the pressure and the culture toxicity that I experienced working at Scale for almost a year. After I left, I thought things would be better and that I could move on knowing that the worst has passed. But I still felt angst and anger towards Scale that oscillate during my regular days. I reached a point where I felt suicidal and thought about ending my life. And that's when I knew that I needed help from a professional. I consulted with a psychiatrist and I was diagnosed with PTSD. I wanted to surface this so current employees would know that this work culture is beyond abnormal and to prospective employees to be wary of this company.
