      Pros

      Lovely coworkers who will go on to do great things.

      Cons

      I worked at Fairmarkit for 2 years, and honestly, it was one of the toughest jobs I’ve ever had. The CEO really struggled with basic concepts and seemed unwilling to learn or grow. This created a stifling environment where new ideas were often shut down. Despite claiming we were a “family,” the reality was far from it. There was a constant fear of being fired, especially if you dared to disagree with him. It felt more like a dictatorship than a supportive workplace. To make matters worse, customers weren’t buying the product, and the company is trending down due a lack of sales. It was disheartening to see the lack of direction and leadership during such critical times. On top of that, the compensation was pretty disappointing, which made the toxic atmosphere even harder to bear. Overall, I can’t recommend Fairmarkit if you’re looking for a healthy work environment. There’s potential here, but it’s buried under poor leadership and a lack of respect for employees.

      While we appreciate the comment about lovely co-workers (thankful for the team/ppl we get to work with everyday), I’m sorry to hear that this was your overall experience working at Fairmarkit and with me specifically. I/we take every comment as an oppty to be curious, learn, and continue growing as a company (& me personally as CEO), and I’ll/we’ll do that with this comment as well. I/we’re very optimistic about the track we’re on and the massive market we’re in, and we’ll continue working to create and enable a culture that matches our core values. Best! Kevin

      Pros

      Exciting product, interesting problems to solve, fascinating travel, great people. Lots of freedom and autonomy when doing your job, and many opportunities to work on a wide variety of projects. Compensation is highly competitive.

      Cons

      The pace of change is very high, and you have to be comfortable with constantly changing priorities and decisions sometimes made on gut feelings.

      Pros

      People mostly were good to work with. It was good pay while I was there and I see they have reduced pay after laying off people multiple times

      Cons

      CEO has no strategy. CTO probably lacks deep technical skills to build something better. Toxic culture where people close to CEO & CTO are safe from layoff and see growth. Others not so much. CEO has no idea how to run company and the strategy is to hire and then lay off people. There were so many layoffs before and after my time at the company The products are okay but they speak about "revolutionizing" things. All speak. Worst part is that they keep repeating company culture in every meeting only to change it one fine day to something totally different. All smoke and mirrors. At some point the leaders were comparing themselve to Tesla and drawing parallels on how this company is going to grow like Tesla. Go figure. Thats the kind of company Join at your own risk. If you join, quickly suck up to leadership or get ready to be laid off.

      I/we always appreciate hearing various perspectives, so thank you for sharing - on a personal level, I am sorry to hear this was your experience. Like any startup over the last few years, we’ve needed to make course corrections to ensure the company is best positioned to capture the market opportunity and also support our customers in the best way possible. The current team is fired up as we’re coming off a record year and are close to cash flow breakeven. Our main focus continues to be making our customers successful and becoming the #1 B2B Agentic Marketplace. Best! Kevin
