good but risky - Anonymous employee Veritree Employee Review

- Travel and experiences - Seamless expense system

Job security is the real risk here. I left a stable, well-paying job at a gold mine to join, and was let go after one month with no reason given beyond "not a good fit." If you're leaving secure employment for this, weigh that heavily. The mission also didn't match what I expected once I was inside. In my experience the model functions largely as matchmaking, connecting businesses to tree-planting operations that were already happening, rather than generating new projects the way the marketing implies. I also learned production of their clothing had been moved back to China, which sat oddly with the brand's positioning. When they started they seemed proud to base their clothing production in Oregon, but I guess the profit was more important. I came in wanting work I believed in and left disillusioned with both the mission and how the exit was handled. I wouldn't recommend working here if you care about ethical business practices, environmental restoration, or having a stable job.

Amazing people + mission, and the work was interesting. I was able to learn a lot on the job and had significant 1-on-1 time with the company leadership even as an intern.

No major cons, the one thing that comes to mind is that the veritree team has now grown to become too large so the team is split between two sides of the office. It would have been nice to have the entire veritree team altogether in one space but I guess that's just a downside to growing so quickly!
