Vantaggi

I honestly can't think of a single pro. There are good lunch places nearby. That's it? Some coworkers were cool.

Svantaggi

Where should I start? I know. Let's take a look at the first round of layoffs. 1/4 of the company was let go in a single day. That was about 3 months ago. You'd think the execs would have a heart and be intelligent enough to do the layoffs all at once... you'd THINK, right? No. They actually decided to do a SECOND round of layoffs. This time, it was by email. Who does that? In addition, the old CEO got fired since he was so terrible at his job, and got replaced by the CRO. Ok, enough about company drama, let's move on to the product... in short: it SUCKS. Churn rate is extremely high. Sales team tries to sell purely to fill their quota instead of intelligently finding leads. Platform hasn't been upgraded in over a year.

Vantaggi

1) Some of the most intelligent, hard working, funny, caring people you will ever work with. 2) True transparency. I know the finances of the company down to the T. There have been multiple times where I have called the CEO over to consult about difficult customer issues without fear of repercussion 3) $5 discount for lunch/ catered food once a week (dinner for engineering pushes). I have put on 15lbs here. Food is not an issue 4) Really really really supportive co workers. Lotsa happy hours.

Svantaggi

1) Yes we hit a rough spot- yes we are figuring it out and yes, days or weeks can suck. But it's not terrible and my manager's advice was to remember that working at Boost is ultimately a job. 2) Longer hours as of late, due to above issues 3) Product has been fairly overpromised- so a lot of manual work to make it work. Excel hackiness, that is slow to respond to new use cases. 4) Of late we have not been able to use unlimited PTO- not because of blackout. Just cause theres too much to do.
