Pros

It is a very welcoming and supportive environment. There are some changes going on right now and leadership has been very transparent with how the employees are feeling about the change and are offering specific examples and a plan on how concerns will be addressed. This is really rare in my experience. So far, the culture seems excellent and everyone is truly pleasant to work with. I get the impression that leadership cares about their employees as people, from the top down.

Cons

The one thing I would change is the time off. While there are a couple pools (mental health - 2 days, floating holidays - 3 days), the largest pool is a combined just general PTO of 15 days. I think combining sick time and 'vacation' time encourages people to work through illnesses so they don't sacrifice PTO for things like family time or vacations. I would love to see sick time separated out.

Thank you for your feedback. I will take this information back to our HR team for discussion. As you can imagine lots of discussion around work life balance and have tried to be flexible with time off versus boxing time off into one category or another. But, your thoughts are very welcomed and appreciate taking the time to do so steve

Pros

Strong remote‑first culture, which I appreciated.

Cons

I was one week into the job when my manager informed me that my pre‑planned vacation would not be approved. This trip was booked and fully paid for a year in advance, and it was meant to celebrate several major milestones in my life: my graduation, my 30th birthday, and my anniversary. Canceling was not an option without losing several thousands of dollars. During this conversation, I was told that new hires are only allowed to take two days off at a time. This policy was never mentioned during the hiring process, and I could not find it anywhere in my new‑hire paperwork. For a company that emphasizes work‑life balance and well‑being, the lack of flexibility was surprising and disappointing. Instead of working with me on a reasonable solution, they chose to deny the request entirely. As a result, I resigned. It’s unfortunate that the company preferred to restart the hiring process rather than allow one pre‑planned vacation. I do not recommend accepting a job at this company if you have any upcoming travel or personal commitments.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry this situation was disappointing, particularly given how meaningful this trip was. PTO guidelines, including expectations for new hires, are reviewed during onboarding, and we encourage early discussion of any pre‑planned commitments. We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best going forward
