Pros

You’d have the opportunity to work with a bunch of exceptional individuals at the ground level.

Cons

- Toxic senior leadership. - A strong sense of favouritism exists. - Senior management does NOT take feedback well. - There is constructive criticism and there’s feedback, and then there’s the senior management here. They adopt a crude way of delivering “feedback” in that they don’t hold back. - You’re chastised for thinking outside the box and digressing from what’s “good for the company”. - You can learn if you put in the effort, sure. But that’s about it. No room for suggesting and implementing new ideas. - The company does not trust its employees to do their jobs and constantly goes over their heads to get things done. - Senior leaders do NOT take accountability for their failures and are quick to bring the heat on the employees who are merely executing their vision. - Senior leaders do NOT live and breathe the core values. Simply put, they’re above the rules.

Pros

Great company culture. Caring individuals. Good work life balance. Good opportunities for advancement/learning.

Cons

It's hard me to receive a plan for my career as I have a unique role, but that's not really fault of the company per se.

Pros

•AlgaeCal is very intentional about creating a great company culture. They look for people who are smart, driven, and good with people. This creates a positive, healthy work environment. •The supplements AlgaeCal sells are backed by science. No other company can say their natural calcium supplements have been shown in clinical studies to actually *increase* bone density. These products really work, and they genuinely transform lives. So when you work at AlgaeCal, you can feel good about what you're selling.

Cons

•It would be nice if the company offered a healthcare package to its U.S. employees, but you can still get health insurance through the marketplace, so this isn't a "make or break" thing for most people. The lack of what Americans would consider standard employee benefits is the only reason I didn't rate the "Compensations & Benefits" category a 5/5. In general, AlgaeCal is a great place to work!
