Vantaggi
- The first couple of years were great. Fun team, smart people, super fast pace, and exciting work day-to-day
- A lot of promise and potential for growth, in 2020 we hyber-grew and it was so fun
- Strong teammates who supported each other
- I was genuinely excited to tell people I worked here in the beginning — the vibe was young, trendy, and cool
Svantaggi
If you’re considering joining, be aware: this is not the same GOAT it once was. If you had asked me a few years ago, I would have raved about this company, but the vibe and energy that made it special are gone, replaced with instability, layoffs, and poor leadership. Do your homework before signing on if you get an offer.
Innovation stalled toward the end of my tenure. Most of the work shifted to maintenance and it often felt like we were just “keeping the lights on”
Multiple large layoffs recently :/
I won’t pretend I know how to run a company, but in my view, the executive team is too young and inexperienced to scale effectively. It showed in their decisions, and they often came across as stubborn and dismissive of feedback that challenged their “vision”
Just short-term, reactive moves and constant cost-cutting
Equity doesn’t look promising; I don’t expect it will hold much value in the foreseeable future
You basically get your base salary and that’s it. Perks are minimal to nonexistent. No real people-focused experiences, but I guess you get free shipping.. lol
