Pros
Choosing to work here has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I used to work in a corporate job where I actually found the work interesting and could see myself continuing down that career path. So when I first started talking to PennyPop, I was a bit skeptical at first. As I continued talking to the team here including the two co-founders, however, I became convinced that this was where I needed to be. The team here is unafraid to tackle any challenge or industry. The company has a solid vision and are focused on building durable, consumer businesses that can withstand downturns. Unlike many startups whose sole goal is to take the company public and make a profit, people here genuinely believe in making the world a little better than it was before by providing consumer experiences that make people happy. Creativity is highly valued at the company, and it’s a great feeling to be in such a fostering environment where I find myself creatively challenged. Everyone here is highly motivated and supportive of each other, and managers care about your career growth.
Cons
I think the con with working in such an environment is that it could feel a bit fast-paced. I personally don’t experience this much as I find the work really fulfilling. When people do feel this though, I think they’re generally able to talk to their managers to work things out.
