Exceptional Internship Experience - Anonymous employee Staple AI Employee Review

The culture here is truly exceptional, people are treated like human beings, with honesty, respect. The founders are incredibly kind, approachable, extremely transparent and down to earth. At any time and at calls, you can raise your voice with questions, ideas, or concerns at any time, and they always take the time to listen and offer thoughtful feedback. The two TLs who I interact with regularly, one for engineering and one for product, they also create a very supportive environment. They are knowledgeable, open, and great at giving guidance while still allowing you the autonomy to take ownership. There’s strong exposure across engineering and product, and the day to day work brings plenty of new challenges that keep things engaging and help you grow quickly. The team overall is collaborative and generous with sharing knowledge, making the entire environment productive and enjoyable.

The only con is that we feel like the pace is very slow. This company could be growing at a faster pace. The foundation, culture, and team are strong, so accelerating growth feels like the step required to not bore us since we are young and active.

Staple has been an incredible place to grow both professionally and personally. The work is challenging but rewarding, and the engineering team is filled with talented and supportive people who truly care about the products we’re building. As a software engineer, I’ve had the opportunity to work on cutting-edge products that are changing the way businesses automate and manage their paperwork. The team is passionate about innovation, and it’s very motivating to be a part of that. The leadership at Staple fosters a culture of transparency, trust, and collaboration (Trust in our product is a very big factor that we emphasize on)

While the company culture is great, there are definitely some areas that could use improvement, particularly when it comes to compensation and benefits. The compensation is competitive, but it could be higher considering the level of experience that some of us bring about to the company and how invested we are into the company. While health insurance etc. not being there for some of us due to geographic constraints (which is fine), it would have been nice to get any other benefits in place of it instead.
