Pros
The staff is fun and hard working.
Cons
If I could give zero stars, I would. I have never worked in an environment so toxic. Making the decision to work at ban.do is a mistake I will always regret. Not only did it set me back financially (was promised a raise after signing on that never happened, and worked a retail job and freelanced in order to make my living) but I've never had so much stress-induced anxiety due to the manipulative and passive-aggressive work environment that ban.do fosters. Favoritism runs rampant still. Obviously, higher-ups have learned nothing from their experiences. When I was going through management training, and HR continuously encouraged me to pick fights and nit-pick the work of my direct report (despite having an awesome working relationship with them). Having employees sit through DEI seminars with the owners of the company disregard white privilege and put that phrase in air quotes (suggesting it isn't real) is terrible. Obviously, you all have learned absolutely nothing and your support of POC and stance on anti-racism is 100% performative. Also, there have been opportunities to diversify hiring since the employee walkout in June 2020. There have been multiple new hires and all of them have been white. Yes, the founder, left. But toxicity and racism still thrive at ban.do. I could go on and on and on about all the terrible experiences I had and witnessed friends/colleagues go through at this company. But just take it as a warning: DO NOT WORK HERE.
