Pluspunten

Decent pay, especially if in the Bay Area or NYC or Seattle. Great benefits package, remote first culture

Minpunten

C-staff is utterly incompetent. Not a single strategic decision has panned out, and regular employees suffer the consequences of poor leadership. CEO and CFO in particular have an obsession with things like pedigree (ie: where people went to school, FAANG company history, etc) that overshadows a person's actual competency for the job, and are raging narcissists. Anyone who disagrees or doesn't fall into line will find themselves being pushed out. All the leaders are out for themselves - if an idea works out, they take all the credit. If it fails, blame will be spread to others, who will fall on someone else's sword. Culture is a joke - probably one of the most toxic and political environments I've seen. Be prepared for leaders to lead the gaslighting charge with zero remorse or consequences. The mission is also a sham - the only fair chance employees are generally hired into the lowest paying roles and then are paraded around like show ponies as 'proof' the company lives up to its values. In general, diversity and inclusion is mostly non-existent, especially at senior leadership levels. The company tends to lean towards hiring externally vs promoting from within, and generally only hires referrals from other execs (see: nepotism), which doesn't lead to a more diverse leadership team.

Pluspunten

Unlike many places where AI is just a buzzword, Checkr is deeply investing in real applications that solve complex problems. We aren’t just talking about it; we’re shipping it. The commitment to AI enablement is tangible. We have access to the latest tools like Cursor and Bugbot, which significantly streamlines our workflows and keeps the focus on creative problem-solving rather than boilerplate. If you enjoy "hard" problems, this is the place. Dealing with data at scale here provides a level of complexity that keeps you sharp and constantly learning. The culture is easily one of the best I’ve experienced. You’re working with incredibly smart, grounded individuals who genuinely care about the mission and each other.

Minpunten

Like any company that has scaled rapidly over several years, we have our fair share of tech legacy. It can be a hurdle when trying to move at lightning speed. While the new leadership is focusing in cleaning up the architecture through targeted engineering investments, we aren't out of the woods yet. It requires patience and a "builder" mindset to help pave the new path.
