Pros

- The talent at You.com is great. Everyone is passionate about what we're doing. - Growing company and endless opportunities to grow your skills/career. - Benefits are solid so the stage we are in, and I like seeing that as the company grows, benefit offerings are too.

Cons

Exec team is really tough. It is one of toughest groups I've worked with in my career. I feel comfortable talking in meetings with them, but a lot of the time I question why I do because they have their own goals. It's defeating because it feels like they include other voices to check a box. If the discussion isn't what they want to hear, they tune out and do what they want anyway. What ends up happening a lot of the time is leadership will run back to their teams when the problem hits, and many are too scared to say I told you so and work late hours to put out fires.

Pros

Remote work is great and most people are reliable

Cons

Horrible company culture that avoids conversations about diversity. Men pretend to care about women’s issues in half hearted ways. Little effort is made to improve with professional DI services.
