Pros

The concept is a good one and the CEO, Antonia Townsend, is very very smart. She cares about the details and is set on her concept. She is a very talented marketer and has a pretty good head for finance.

Cons

The CEO has been running the business without senior executive assistance for several years. She is used to doing things "her way" and doesn't always seem receptive to different solutions. She micromanages and isn't used to managing by outcomes. She manages actual process, even if it isn't optimum. When she learns how to delegate at a senior level, she will be a great CEO. If you are applying as an executive, probe for how you would be managed and evaluated.

Some of the criticisms in this review are fair, but should be taken for what they are, which is criticism from a person who was not offered a job. This person did not actually work for Enclosed, but applied for a job which was not offered to him.

Pros

Working at Enclosed enabled to see all sides of a start-up. I gained hands-on experience in developing social media strategy and overseeing Enclosed's marketing rollout. I got to work really closely with my co-workers to research PR initiatives and get Enclosed press coverage. It was really rewarding to see this whole process. In addition, I got to conduct a summer-long project on Enclosed's renewals strategy.

Cons

Because Enclosed is a start-up company, people working here need to learn how to be more flexible. Working at start-up requires someone who is willing to help in all stages of an early start-up.

Pros

Open work environment, with friendly and supportive coworkers. Plus management is always easy to talk to. Is a startup so has lots of room to grow, with plenty of opportunity for those who think outside the box. Has plenty of parking, which in San Fransisco is very rare.

Cons

Is a startup so you will be given different tasks. Be open to learning new things.
