Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The leadership team has been transparent about changes in the company, financials, and plans for the next year.
Review from Operations Dept
A very accessible and forward-thinking team.
Review from Product Dept
The leadership team is very nice and mean well. I think we need more strategic decision making, an emphasis by the leadership team on how we're doing against KPIs and benchmarks we've set, projected against baseline, optimistic, and aggressive targets and business alignment on addressing tech debt.
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership is transparent and I appreciate that about the team!
They're accessible and invested. They take the time to share their work and goals with new hires instead of delegating it to someone else.
Review from Marketing Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Recognizing that giving 2% raises during high inflation is not appropriate, it is essentially a pay cut. Recognizing that without the people that build their product they wouldn't have their bonuses.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The competitive pay and the wellness days
Review from Operations Dept
Private insurance and monthly reimbursements
Review from Product Dept
The benefits are outstanding! The pay is great too, especially at a mainly remote company.
Generous coverage for medical, dental & vision as well as tuition coverage
Review from Marketing Dept
welcome package and phone/internet are good parts
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Higer base pay. Offer equity to employees who are below director level. Bonus that's tied with the performance in the role instead of setting up projects that the employees focus on to achieve the bonus goal.
Review from Operations Dept
I just got here. Feel like I should be getting paid more considering the type of work I'm doing and the role I'm filling. We also just lost a member so will probably need to step up.
Review from Engineering Dept
I took a $20k pay cut when I accepted this job. I was lead to believe that a promotion was on the horizon but, it seems that has been tabled and the general theme is to do more with less.
Review from Marketing Dept
I was paid about 25% more at my previous company in a similar role.
Review from Marketing Dept
As I said before a 2% raise given during times of high inflation is a pay cut. We onboard amazon, did everything in record time, every team got affected by it, all that stress due to the mismanagement of the whole process... for a pay cut? Makes leadership look bad
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Helpful Transparent Supportive of growth and development Resourceful Process being well-documented

Review from Product Dept
My team is very fun, intelligent, and hard-working. We're all new and trying to make good impressions which is refreshing.

Everyone on my team is enthusiastic and always willing and able to help when needed. They are some really great people.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
People are very helpful. Leadership being transparent.
Review from Operations Dept
1. The people: amazing persons with good values and thirst to grow. 2. A constant sense of positivism and willingness to help.
Review from Product Dept
The work culture is incredibly relaxed and understanding of life outside of work. Sometimes I feel its too lax. People are just waiting around for others to do work or are okay if things lag or delay.
Review from Engineering Dept
Being able to work remotely is a HUGE benefit that I do not take for granted. Also, the vibes are generally positive and that's a nice change from prior work environments.
Review from Marketing Dept
People care about what they do, so they naturally take care of and support each other.

Interacting with the teams and collaborating to define solutions
Review from Product Dept
Interacting with my team members
Review from Engineering Dept
Working with a team that is extremely motivated and excited about the company vision.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Most of my day is meetings that lead nowhere because no one is every aligned and everyone wants to change the direction of the product in different ways, we can make 4 months worth of progress just for it to be destroyed by someone who was never in the discussion process to create a requirement
