Vantaggi

-Office at the time was close to water. -Free breakfast sandwiches every Thursday. -Many non-leadership colleagues are easy to talk to and smart.

Svantaggi

-Condescending leadership that is ingrained in the personalities of c-suite. Company is marketed as a climate change organization that is doing better for America as its first priority. But, when I worked there, the first priority seemed to be making money for leadership and data related to climate change seemed to be a means to that end. -Non-competitive pay. Another, real (non-leadership) already said that most people who aren't in leadership get paid below market rate. You're made to feel less than worthy of market-rate pay so that the goalpost is always moved for you to get beyond inflation raises or a promotion with pay. That's probably why whenever I see the New York City hybrid job postings on LinkedIn they don't post the salary ranges, even though it's required by NY state law recently. -Dubious product and people management/development. People unfairly let go and in a cold fashion even though management liked to describe the organization as a "family." When it comes to pushing you to work harder, it should be in the name of being a family. When it comes to rewarding you for the hard work, you should take one for the team and understand that you're working hard in the name of climate change. Even before parting ways I was doubtful of the products value and truth. The ethics of this company should be obvious by the fact that the only reviews here left by leadership are the only ones not upvoted and that several staff are also the ones who left good reviews for the organization and its product. -Not diverse

Vantaggi

- Impactful organization with a “small but mighty” history - Mission driven with products that are changing the market (both b2b and b2c) - Growing quickly with new funding – plenty for room for individuals to come in and tackle exciting new projects & challenges - Comprised of intelligent and driven individuals who are passionate about their work and create a positive workplace, despite working on an issue that can sometimes be bleak

Svantaggi

- Like other start-ups, First Street is moving quickly. This means there can be tight deadlines and the hours can ebb and flow to meet those challenges. But, overall work-life-balance is still better here than other organizations that I have worked for

Vantaggi

The tchnical team at the firm is amazing... really smart, easy to work with, and super dedicated to tackling the link between climate issues and financial risks. They’re strong in all the technical areas, and yes, First Street work is needed... BUT....

Svantaggi

Zero Transparency: You’re always kept in the dark about the real state of the business. The all-hands meetings are bs The PTO Policy is a Joke: They basically force you to limit vacations to 5 days. They’d rather you take a random afternoon here and there than an actual week off to recharge. "Startup Speed" is an Excuse: Leadership constantly says "we move fast," but it just means rushing out unvalidated products that aren't ready. Despite the chaos, there’s no actual growth to show for it and the ARR certainly isn’t reflecting the "speed." Toxic Leadership: The CEO is pretty arrogant, and for a fact, I know doesn't care about feedback. The strategy changes whenever a potential client asks for something new, leaving the company feeling lost... and team members feeling disconnected with firm's direction and goals. Management is stingy; the food they advertise consists of weekly breakfasts (bagels with schmear), which only cost around four dollars, and team lunches once per quarter, which are generally pizza. No Job Security: Again, feedback culture is non-existent. You’ll get compliments one day and be fired the next. A culture of fear and uncertainty prevents employees from doing their best, as they are too fearful and only do what they are instructed. Overall: It’s an exhausting environment where everyone is on edge. You basically have to spend your energy "pleasing" the CEO just to survive. Not worth the burnout.
