Pros

The best thing about working there is the work/life balance. There's a four day work week, which is great .

Cons

but the pay is lower than other companies for the same work. There's also little to no room for career growth. Communication between departments is lacking, and things change on a dime. Work you've been putting in for 10 months is suddenly shut down because management is going in a new direction. Diversity here is a real issue. With few exceptions, everyone is white. The entire exec team is white, religious, cis, and heterosexual.

Pros

Pros: - Four day workweek - Fully paid insurance (including vision and dental) - 401k - 3-5 week minimum PTO

Cons

- CEO and exec team. - If you speak up or out against leadership, management, decision making, or the direction things are going, you are branded a "core value" misfit and either pushed out or fired. - Poor (basically non-existent) manager training. - Limited job growth opportunities. Very flat org chart. - Job responsibilities/scope creep outside of the 4DWW, so you're working on Friday anyway. - Feels like working for a cult. Seriously. And you see it much more clearly when you're out. - Lots of "pretty" core value language, strategy docs, and "company culture" mindset, but behind the curtains, it's a company looking to make money. There's not the loyalty you think there is. - Firings occur with no warnings, no PIPs, and you have no way to defend yourself.
