Pros

The product is exciting and has strong potential in the payroll and HR tech space Teammates are sharp, hardworking, and mission-driven Annual company offsite in Mexico is a great opportunity to connect Pay is competitive

Cons

Promotion process lacks clarity: It’s a flat org, and while there are promotion rubrics, decisions often come down to internal politics (voted by leaders) and visibility rather than clear performance standards. Managers have inconsistent approaches in supporting and advocating for their teams. Recognition depends on visibility: Employees who post frequent updates or stay highly visible tend to be recognized more, regardless of the impact of their actual work. Quiet contributors are often overlooked. High time commitment: The startup environment demands long hours and flexibility, especially during peak payroll periods (December–January). Nights and weekends are common in some roles. Not ideal for those balancing family or other personal responsibilities. Recent layoffs and shifting priorities: The company has had two rounds of layoffs, in 2022, and most recently in 2025. These cuts affected many experienced team members, with a move toward offshoring and hiring more junior roles. While RIF transition support was offered, former employees reported being ghosted after reaching out.

Pros

Check is the best job I've ever had, and it's not close. I remember when I was interviewing and heard people talk about the culture, I rolled my eyes a bit. But it's so clear now that it's a really special group. People are curious, passionate, smart, humble. We work hard, but it's really telling that so many Checkketeers have kids, as there is great work-life balance. The company does a great job being remote but also having in-person opportunities. It all is very non-corporate. I am empowered to solve problems and grow. The company is really hitting its stride right now, both in terms of scale and culture. When things go wrong, the company comes together rather than pulling itself apart. I genuinely look forward to work every day.

Cons

If you're just looking to collect a paycheck and log off, you probably won't love it here. But it's not a grind either, people just genuinely give a sh*t.

Pros

The company is growing its culture thoughtfully and collaboratively. There are several things I particularly enjoy: 1. Andrew, the CEO of the company, genuinely cares about both the employees and the long-term growth of the business. One example that stood out to me was that he took the time to join and recognize tenured employees even while on parental leave. 2. Check places a strong emphasis on transparency in its decision-making process and is not afraid to openly reflect on mistakes and lessons learned. 3. It is a fun and collaborative environment where you feel surrounded by supportive and friendly people.

Cons

Could be better if the employees have better visibility of roadmap and how it's executed on quarterly basis.
