Pros

My teammates were cool as hell. Openly talking about cannabis in a workplace setting is a blast.

Cons

Leadership lacks the foresight to properly run this company. As a result of poor planning, they spent too much money and hired too many people at breakneck pace. So of course, they just followed what the rest of the cool kids are doing and laid off a chunk of folks instead of finding a way to repurpose them. This was just weeks after Ross painted a rosy picture of Dutchie's future and telling us all that we have nothing to worry about. Based on some of the folks that were let go, it almost felt like names were picked out of a hat. A lot of them fell into the "last one in, first one out" bucket. They claimed that some of it had to do with performance, but as a top performer on my team with glowing reviews, I find that hard to believe. I wouldn't know either way because my manager never bothered to check in on me, just someone in HR. So much for #dutchiefam.

Pros

Fun place to work, interesting field and nice new tech stack, great coworkers, leadership is not half bad, most diverse workplace I've ever been in.

Cons

The work life balance can be great at times and bad at others. It is very team dependent though. Your requirements shift quickly. Obsessed with AI and optimization.

Pros

From what I heard, it used to be a phenomenal culture, but I joined just a week or two after the first major round of layoffs. The hostile company takeover was soon to follow then many rounds of layoffs to come.

Cons

A couple of very large, public layoffs, but to later avoid press - the rest were weekly, but small enough to avoid public notice which meant they were never acknowledged even within the company. Working weekends and taking calls to your personal cell number at night for extra work is smiled upon. Company at a complete loss of direction and there seems to be no desire for actual data or for things to work. It's like they want more on paper to show investors or something - it's actually unbelievable how little the company now does while completely overworking everyone.
