Pros

1. Compensation is mostly in-line with the market 2. Some of the leaders in the business are great to work with, and by and large the work can be interesting every now and then

Cons

1. Finance "leadership" is horrible, and lacks even the most basic management skills 2. Tools and systems are among the worst anywhere 3. Expectations and timelines are completely misaligned with capacity and capabilities resulting in long hours, tight turns, lots of stress, and poor moral 4. Annual turnover is ~70%, so most things are a complete mess, few things are documented, and processes are all but non-existent 5. Given the revolving door you would at least think on-boarding should be good. You would be VERY wrong 6. Company doesn't promote or develop talent, choosing instead to constantly go external for hires - adding even more fuel to the turnover fire

Very big company

Pros

If you claim to have built a solution that can scale heights, this is one place to confirm that claim. lots of data (stores, ecommerce, dcs etc). very big company (so lots of opportunities internally), good bonus. Will find really smart people at various levels. Lot of cultural changes after Jet acquisition (in a good way). unlimited PTO, friday lunch(not the best though), happy hours etc...

Cons

Adoption of new technologies takes significant time compared to other companies nearby due to their large scale and production impacts, hence learning/hands on gets impacted. Company wants to move at a greater pace but fails to realize that several underlying homegrown solutions/frameworks can't even scale.

Thank you for providing us with this feedback! I couldn’t agree with more, we have a great group of people who we are able to work with, and our culture is fantastic. With our accelerated growth, we have had some scaling concerns, but are continuing to push through. We want to keep the pace we have been growing at, and if you have suggestions on how we can better adopt our new technologies, I would love to hear them! - Jeremy K.
