Pros
- Being able to work from home nearly every day - Decent benefits - Smart people
Cons
- No raises after multiple years for the majority of employees it seems. They start you at the low end of market value and never offer more. You need to ask and then, if they do decide to offer the raise, it’s low. This has been addressed in company wide meetings and we were essentially told that one day it might happen, but that days wasn’t today. - Not much room to grow and learn anymore. They’ve been acquiring a ton of companies and some of those companies employees, and seem to be doing so at the expense of their current employees. - The CEO sends out frequent ‘inspiring’ emails about the ups and downs of startup culture and business ideas and rundowns of their most recent acquisition, but as an employee these only serve as reminders that the company is very much in a phase of only investing in growing as large as possible, while keeping employee pay low and stretching the teams thin for the amount of work there is. - A lot of long term and/or very experienced employees have left in the past two years. Some are people who have worked on the platform since the beginning and a ton of knowledge was lost along with them. - Probably because of the amount of change, there is a ton of disorganization and a lack of communication between offices and teams. This is forgivable in a newer company but there also seems to have been no effort to fix this issue.
