Vantaggi

The people are genuinely nice . No ego work place and a lot of great talented individuals

Svantaggi

What to say .. it started out pretty amazing, then all of a sudden things changed. Management is weak, no direction and lack of understanding of the engineering side of things . Recently there has been a lot of amazing engineers exits which is disappointing. These are the very same engineers that made Bestow what it is today and management has no clue what to do. They barely recognize the issue and think all is good. It's like a house of cards and the base is weak now. It's just about time that all will fall.

Thank you for the time you spent with us at Bestow. We’re glad you appreciate the kind and incredibly talented individuals who are on our team. We are constantly soliciting candid feedback and prioritizing opportunities to improve. Our team has grown exponentially over the past few years and engineering management has been thin. We have addressed that with multiple promotions internally as well as recruiting new managers with strong experience scaling growth-stage companies. Engineers will always be a central part of Bestow, and we strive to take action from feedback frequently, including improving management and ensuring competitive compensation. Startups can be messy as resources are limited and ambition is high. We believe in taking risks and backing emerging talent, so our goal will continue to promote from within and hire the best possible talent as we scale. Thank you again for your contributions, and we wish you the absolute best. Lizette Fleher, Head of People at Bestow

Vantaggi

Pros: • Honestly, very few. You might get paid eventually. • Some coworkers are decent people — too bad most don’t stick around.

Svantaggi

Cons: • They don’t pay on time. Ever. You’ll spend more time chasing your paycheck than doing your actual job. Expect delays, excuses, and complete silence when you ask about your money. • Leadership is a joke. The people running this place have no idea what they’re doing. Decisions are made based on ego, not logic, and they treat employees like disposable tools. • Toxic environment. Petty office politics, zero accountability, and constant blame-shifting. Don’t expect respect, honesty, or professionalism — it doesn’t exist here. • No structure, no strategy, no future. Everything is reactive. Plans change daily. You’ll be asked to fix problems caused by upper management’s incompetence, only to be blamed when things go wrong. • HR is useless. If you report a problem, it either gets ignored or you get labeled “difficult.” • High turnover and zero morale. People quit weekly. It’s a revolving door of burned-out employees and broken promises. • Micromanagement and chaos. You’ll be overworked, underpaid, and under constant stress — all for a company that doesn’t care if you burn out.
