Pros
- good work/life balance, no expectation to work outside the standard 40 hr week
- I like the people on my team
- my manager does not micro-manage me
- unlimited PTO
- job feels secure with no rumors of layoffs
Cons
Leadership seems to have lost sight of the company mission. Constantly talking about being the fastest growing saas company in UT and hyping up the record breaking year for revenue in 2025. Yet salaries are stagnant (below market value) and teams are overworked because we're "running lean" and don't have the budget for more resources. Nectar is supposed to be all about the employee experience and making people feel valued at work. We do use the platform internally, but only for shoutouts. They tell our customers to use Nectar for things like end of year bonuses, fun challenges, employee appreciation day, but none of these things ever happen for Nectar employees. It's disappointing.
Also
- no 401k contribution
- in office requirement, no flexibility for remote work
- career growth is virtually nonexistent
- product is extremely buggy and leadership is only focused on releasing as many things as possible. There is no dedicated QA team.
- lack of documentation or SOP so you must be extremely self motivated to figure things out and solve problems yourself
- very few women in the company and they are paid significantly less than their male counterparts
- culture is difficult and isolating if you aren't mormon or in love with donald trump
