Pros
Great mission, enjoyable perks and office, lovely coworkers.
Cons
Leadership is weak. Much of the company's lip service around caring about people and the planet is for marketing value and little else. When COVID-19 hit, Hipcamp decided almost immediately (early April) to cut nearly half of its staff, and now bookings are skyrocketing -- go figure. Rather than waiting a few weeks to see how the situation would pan out, the company made it clear it cares about profit above all else. This is not a values-led company. It's a company like any other, so don't expect much beyond that. Plus: be prepared for plenty of micro-aggressions and little in the way of support if you're a person of color.
