Pluspunten
The NY office is beautiful and in a fantastic location. Work hours are pretty fluid and not super cutthroat (outside of Q4). Some of the people are absolutely lovely.
Minpunten
Startup culture is similar to building a rocket ship while flying it at once; you have to understand that things are subject to change. But that shouldn’t apply to everything. There was a lack of transparency and true direction. Promises were made but never fulfilled. And unless you work in sales, the opportunity to grow was seemingly limited. The turnover rate was also incredibly disheartening. Some exceptional talents exited in quick succession while management struggled to incentivize and inspire those who remained. Between “private” conversations not kept private and palpable politics, it’s not the most conducive environment for productivity. Unlimited vacation came with a price tag which included a fair amount of pushback with a dash of judgement. Q4 was chaotic. With shrinking personnel, expectations were unreasonable creating further friction.
