Pros

Chicago and surrounding area is probably not the hugest hub of progressive start-ups that you would read about in magazines. But here at Adar, things are quite different. A laid back environment, a variety of projects, an opportunity for each individual to be proactive and learn from his or her colleagues. Combined with an awesome benefits suite and tons of employee perks, this is a place that truly knows how to make its staff feel valued. Whether it be snacks and shooting hoops in the lounge, the company sponsored Netflix account to enjoy on your lunch break, or the constant provision of all necessary supplies and equipment to ensure that every employee can succeed, Adar truly knows what it means to create a positive work environment.

Cons

Parking can be annoying at times. No issues for anyone who takes public transportation though since the train stops only 2 blocks away from the office.

Pros

• Collaborative, welcoming culture — people across teams are accessible and genuinely willing to help. One of the best teams I've been on. • Leadership is transparent and clearly invested in the company's direction • Strong remote culture with real flexibility and no expectation to always be "on". My particular manager is big on PTO meaning actually taking time away without continuing to check email/teams. • Competitive compensation and benefits — this the first time in at least 6 years my compensation matches my value. • Lots of opportunity to take ownership early, especially in marketing — career growth feels very real • Onboarding is smoother than at larger orgs thanks to how approachable everyone is

Cons

• Things move fast and priorities can shift, so adaptability and catching on quickly is a must • Some processes are still being built out, which can feel ambiguous at times — though that's also what makes it exciting if you like shaping things

Pros

Remote first company, passionate/talented team members, great product.

Cons

Below market salary, constant layoffs not based on performance, lack of alignment on roles/projects, “bring-your-own” device essentially forces you to foot the bill for your equipment.
