      Pros

      -amazing people - met so many incredible people i'm going to miss -decent culture - they try to make it social and fun -great learning opportunity -unlimited PTO but...

      Cons

      -"unlimited PTO" but you feel like you shouldn't take it since you are already working from home and the catch up after you come back is not worth it...NO COVERAGE -messy management - not clear who does what and who can you go to for specific needs -broken telephone in communication - he said she said, it's never clear -lack growth, no where to go, up or side, nothing, dead end -work/life balance = ZERO

      Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the people and our culture - it’s something very important to us! I’m sorry if you felt that taking time off was difficult. , Work-life balance is essential for all of us. As is the case with many early startups, career growth and communication are often not completely ironed out. This is definitely an area of focus for us and we’ve made strides in establishing career ladders for many positions. As part of our company values we default to open and prioritize transparency, and this feedback reinforces how important that is for a good employee experience. If you’re comfortable sharing more details with me directly, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Nick Passavanti, Head of Recruiting (nickpassavanti@b12.io)

      Bait and Switch, unethical management.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Bi-weekly lunches, weekly bubble tea, work from home whenever you have a headache or haven't slept well, come in whenever you want, unlimited vacation days, casual work environment and truly nice team. Snacks, good working tools.

      Cons

      - Unethical management: They interview and hire people for one position and then have them perform tasks totally unrelated to the position they were hired for. - A lot of false promises are made: 1. Growth opportunities: No growth at all - management prefers to tire you out for you to leave, rather than promoting you. 2. B Corporate and 1% pledge: They claim on website to be a B-Corp and be part of the 1% pledge, which is not true at all, as they are not listed as B-Corp, nor do they follow the 1% pledge. 3. Sick days: You are not allowed to be sick. If you're sick, you're expected to work from home. - No respect of your free time: you have to be available over email and chat long after work hours, on weekends, holidays, sick days, and when you're off. - Personal issues are divulged publicly - Management has no vision and no idea where to head to, which causes a lot of misleading communication, contradictory instructions, worthless supervisions, too many needless meetings and waste of time. Lack of people skills, no aptitude for leading, at times even passive aggressive management style. The work-life-balance is bad - lot's of unpaid overtime. Salary inequality.

      I'm so sorry your experience at B12 was so negative. I wish there was more that we could have done to support you. I am honestly so thankful for your feedback, and feel that we've done a lot since January to improve many of the items you mentioned. We've become much more set in roles and responsibilities; we have yearly reviews around compensation and promotions; I personally message sick days (and mental health days) as being extremely important and if you're sick you should absolutely take the time; personal issues are completely confidential, especially when discussed with me; we have quarterly meetings around vision and direction and ask for everyone's feedback (which can be provided anonymously); and lastly we work extremely hard to combat wage compression when bringing on new employees (fairness matters!). I hope that some of those items help to continually improve the environment here and again thank you so much for providing your candid feedback, your voice is extremely important and I appreciate your courage in writing down your thoughts. -MM
