Q&A With Prete Employees

Customers & Salons are growing fastest, tech team keeping up with the growth is the hardest but I believe that's typical for small teams. We're always doing something!

Creative freedom

Love them all - everyone can trust each other to do their job 110%

Right now it's minimal because of team size but they subsidize for individual healthcare through your own provider.

More outings together with the teams who are not FT. PT and consulting folks should be included more!

Everyone individually has good relationships with her, though I think she needs a counterpart who is in the office more on the granular things. She always has new ideas so sometimes we all have to keep her grounded but I think that's pretty common.

If you are good at time management it's great.

It's really clear from the moment you are hired. You work with your supervisor on current job requirements/goals, and then talk about where you want to be. You get trackable goals that you can hit and when you hit them/exceed them you get your promotion.

We don't have one, but it just means that when you're gone you should make sure no one has any need to contact you. Basically, get all your work done, delegate appropriately and you can take whatever time you want!

very fast, but always fun

Creative freedom

Very. We operate like an olympic team. Everyone is the best in their field at their specialty. And are compensated as such.

Highlight that you know a lot about the company, identify things that the company can be doing better, and show exactly how you would improve them. The CEO HATES "yes" people. She wants to know where the company can improve and hires only people who have direct ideas on how to get there.

Ambitious, driven people who are KIND and helpful to their peers. Everyone here helps everyone else regardless of their department.

Radically candid which is not for everyone but great for anyone who wants to be a rockstar

Great! I feel like I'm at the top of my game professionally and that I am in total control of my future professional goals.

It depends on the person, startups are not for everyone. Know when you're here you're going to work as hard as you ever have, but you will also be at the top of your game professionally and our CEO is dedicated to helping you reach your personal goals as well as those of the company. I've never had that before and that's my all time favorite thing about PRÊTE.

Escape rooms, dinners, drinks.

Honestly I don't know... Maybe that I should always bring my own lunch unless I have a lunch meeting bc there isn't a ton of walkable stuff here.

Dog friendly office! Love having the pups here as much as possible. Also, I think it's great we have team outings a lot. I think in terms of perks the biggest draw is that it's a fast growing startup so you have a lot of freedom to be creative!

Open office with a conference room

Everyone is pretty different and from vastly different backgrounds. It is mostly female outside of engineers and founders though!

Everyone is friends with each other and there is a lot of laughter in the office. Love it

It was actually really fun and easy. It didn't feel like there was high pressure, but I did know almost everything there is to know about the company before I actually applied.

Make sure you KNOW the company and the founders' stories. It sounds ridiculous but I've seen a lot of people interview here without even downloading or trying the app! That obviously goes without saying, the founders actually check if you've used it or downloaded. Make sure you are ready for anything. You could get asked really crazy questions but they are designed to see how you think, not that there is a right or wrong answer.
