Pros

1. To some extent, there is freedom to express your opinion and managers don't micromanage in this company. 2. Fast paced start up type environment 3. Get exposure to all the latest tools and technology 4. The culture is a bit fun/ not as uptight as tech companies

Cons

1. If certain leaders have decided they don't like you, your days are counted. This is true for fellow leaders as well. 2. I have seen way too many fallouts between leaders. 0% of the C suite has left the company in good terms. 3. If your findings don't align with the leadership gut feeling, your commentary will be brushed off no matter how true or impactful it is 4. Every day is a fire drill which leads up to no action. Just hurry up and wait 5. Middle managers will massage their metrics and outright lie about it before it reaches to C suite. 6. The company doesn't have the budget or the will to spend into hiring the top bay area talent. Always goes for the cheap bargain 7. Every time a business issue is discovered - such as shipping, authentication, all leaders run towards it, look at all the data, understand the problem in depth BUT never actually fix it.

Pros

Female driven companies are far and few between, and The RealReal defies this notion and strives to put women in the forefront of business. The T&D department, specifically Jess and Lisa, create an environment from day one of inclusion and pride in our work. This company will skyrocket (even more than now) so now is the time to join!

Cons

No fault of their own, but virtual learning is tricky! This is entirely due to covid, so take this with a grain of salt.
