Shift Employee Reviews

Amazing place to work in

Hard, some days are like slugfests, other days you feel like you're running in place, and other days feel like you're working through a lot of internal politics between departments and bureaucracy. But It's been a heck of a ride but I think I've had a fairly decent experience.

My direct managers are empathetic, flexible, sharp, and hard workers. The co-CEOs and executive team are focused on funding and big issues, but sometimes lose sight of how those decisions affect people.

It's understood that in a startup, you work for low pay, shares, and have undefined roles with various mixed responsibilities. But with each funding round, and each year, compensation never went up (not even in shares). Recognition is sparse, and shows of appreciation are also equally sparse.

I have a diverse team, they are capable people who work hard. They have a sense of camaraderie with one another as we work through the difficult times and work well with one another.

People are always looking for ways to improve things, fix something, and are willing to look into solutions that might not have been thought of before or even take a second look later.

It's been a number of years since I was interviewed at Shift, but I enjoyed the ability to ask questions throughout the process as well.
