Pros
Company is growing, customers love the product, and we're a positive force of change and disruption in an industry in desperate need of it. What Crowd Cow is doing is great for small independent farms and rural communities, as well as for conscious meat-eaters. Plenty of room and runway to tackle big opportunities and prove your value, make a name/ bet-on yourself. Team in general is extremely high-performing and everyone holds themselves to a very high bar. The meat is great, and so are the in-office tastings.
Cons
Ruthless sink-or-swim culture. This is a place for confident type A's. You need to be onboard, get in line, smile and contribute at a high-level. No focus or discipline when it comes to prioritization. Very "we need to do all of the things". Decision making is very dependent on subjective opinions and not data driven. Data and reporting in general is a bit of a mess. Benefits are very weak. No subsidized transit, no 401k (to say nothing of a match) and expensive healthcare options. Comp is lower than average for industry because you have the privilege of working for fastest, hottest consumer-retail startup in Seattle.
