Pros

Hybrid set up Free food when you report onsite Regular free swags Work-life balance (because there's barely any work to be done)

Cons

Hard to explain how disappointing this company is once you're inside. - Minimalist to zero career growth even if you're already an expert at what you do because this is only for the favorites. - People talk about impostor syndrome, especially the upper management, only because they really don't know what they're doing - Cult like attitude for those who have been with the company for a really long time - They will gaslight you when you start to question them - People are snowflakes, super sensitive. Can't handle criticisms but can't even give proper feedback - I'm not sure how they train their Coaches, but I really had a bad one. She accepted all types of feedback without probing or clarifying what happened. So when I asked her about it, she didn't know what the feedback was about. - For a company that promotes BEING A GOOD HUMAN and EMPOWERING OTHERS they like to throw people under a bus just to satisfy upper management

Pros

The benefits are such a comfort from your traditional corporate work. You will feel the care that they set out for their employees. You will come to work without having to spend so much, and still look forward to the end of your work. CEO and higher ups also discourage hierarchy and treats you more as a friend rather than an employee.

Cons

Improvement on the Customer Happiness team is much needed. Stuff like scheduling and management should be reviewed again. Growth internally is also not too big despite their encouragement. People tend to stay for years in their positions without getting the chance to change roles in different departments. Work was also non-stop for the 7.5 hours you make for our department.

Pros

Great in its early days and it definitely felt like a privilege to work with the team in its era of hypergrowth. You had the opportunity to explore different areas of the business as long as you were hitting your goals.

Cons

As it scaled, the need for really skilled middle management became more and more apparent. Not sure if this remains an issue today, maybe they've tied loose ends.
