Thank you for sharing, I agree, this is a fast-paced start-up where we move quickly, adapt quickly and use feedback to grow. I’m deeply disappointed to hear that you feel we tend to overuse people. I’d appreciate the opportunity to have a candid discussion with you about your experience here, as we have been genuinely committed to caring about our employees through our People progams from Day 1. I take all feedback seriously and welcome additional feedback about my management approach so I can continue to be better. - DJ Sampath, CEO

Pros

I feel like I bonded with the team super quick (might be the nature of startup life or simply all the different ways we are able to connect). When I interviewed I feel like I heard the phrase "team over self" a lot which is one of the reasons I chose to join. When I started I saw this phrase in action daily, whether it was a small task that others are willing to jump in and help with (like washing dishes when we were in the office) or just sending a small Friday hello message to a teammate you haven't heard from (while working remotely), I feel that Armorblox really puts culture and people first. When it comes to career development, I feel that my manager and I are in constant communication on where I am now and where I want to be and what actionable steps we can do to get me there. I feel supported and taken care of! As a startup, you might have to wear many different hats, but this is a part of the job I love. I really got to explore different options to see what really interested me and pursue those routes as I grew with the company.

Cons

It is definitely a fast-paced world (like most startups). This is definitely disclosed beforehand, so be prepared!
