Pros

Lots of PTO I guess?

Cons

If you're reading this you're likely considering working for or with Thoughtlab. I beg of you, please don't. I promise you can do better. Let's start here: this company is made up of about 5 people. All who are overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated. As for any positive reviews on here, this was a targeted effort to clean up ALLL the negative reviews and employees were instructed to leave positive reviews. DON'T BELIEVE THESE. There are basically no clients, almost all work is outsourced to contractors since there is no internal team to handle anything. There is no process or plan for anything. There is no direction or leadership. The CEO jumps from one idea to another, hoping desperately to satisfy his ego. He fires people randomly when he needs a scapegoat for why his business is failing. Clients leave once they realize we can't deliver anything. He is completely checked out, he disappears on "work retreats" for weeks at a time and then seems confused as to why things are falling apart. I've never seen such high turnover and general unhappiness ANYWHERE. It's actually impressive how he keeps finding people who want to work here. Any intelligent person with self-respect, whether that be a client or potential employee should please, please read these negative reviews and avoid working here. For your mental health, for your career path, for your bank account, for the sake of your overall well-being. It will destroy you and bleed you dry. Then you'll be fired, discarded, and silenced.
