Cover Reviews

The founders are very immature and lack real experience. They think that flying around is life experience but have never owned a car. They do not have a plan or even know what kind of exit they want. The head of product (co-founder) is in way over her head. The founders have no idea of what they actually wants but spends their time looking for magic bullets to solve things with a wand. The founders are literally the embodiment of the Dunning–Kruger effect. Listen to the CEO then google phrases that he repeats: you'll find that they are really just the best sound bites from medium articles or hacker news.

Cover did a mass lay-off in early March, ~60% of the entire company (not COVID-19 related.) This surprise lay-off was especially disappointing because employees asked MANY, MANY times leading up to the lay-off if the company was in good financial standing. Just days before the lay-off, we were told we had enough capital to last us at least another year. Questionable sales practices were consistently rolled out by upper management, and concerns from sales reps were rarely addressed. There’s a very strict sales process, and the managers primary responsibility is to make sure you’re following it. Getting creative with your sales strategy was not encouraged. The job of a sales rep was a decent job right out of college, but there’s no clear path for growth, and very few people are promoted. It gets better. Sales reps are required to work weekends, and you’re discouraged and often denied from using your “unlimited PTO”. All in all, there was some good, but far too much bad to consider this a good job experience. I would avoid.
