Pros

There's a clear mission, great people, and a lot of opportunity at Flock. I'm really loving working here. The culture maintains a lot of the good things about a startup - moving fast, minimal bureaucracy - and pairs it with really smart, engaged, and kind people. Over a year in and I've found that the people who stick around focus on working on the problem versus attacking people, risk-taking is encouraged as long as you have some good justification and communication, and there's a strong emphasis on values and ethics regardless of the situation. Garrett and the leadership team are pretty solid - clear direction and adaptability to all the changing situations

Cons

It's very much a startup growing into being a bigger company. There's a lot of growing pains and challenges as people try to put some process on the madness. And with that, priorities can sometimes swing which is challenging and can be tiring.

Agreed on all points! Great mission and equally great people. Really appreciate the review and the advice. Scale-up life can indeed be tough...and making sure everyone feels heard and supported is a big part of the team's listening strategy for 2023 and beyond.

Pros

Outside of working in the nonprofit space, Flock is the most mission oriented job I have ever had. Every person I have worked with here has an intense passion for public safety and helping survivors of crime alongside an intense passion for ensuring community values are maintained alongside that. Creativity in problem solving is encouraged, I have yet to see a supervisor who is threatened by one of their team members coming up with innovative ways to build our their program or improve the organization. I have found Flock to be a great place to be supported in my professional development and not be boxed into mindless corporate bureaucracy that kills passion and creativity.

Cons

Those that need rigid structure in order to succeed will not succeed at Flock. There are absolutely metrics and goals that need to be achieved but you will not be hand-held. Those who succeed are the ones who move both decisively and strategically accepting a mistake may be made. Those who will not succeed are those who move slowly but but require perfection. Given the high-profile nature of the work, grit and resilience are definitely required.

Pros

Steady hours and solid experience building out regional tracking networks. You get to work independently on the ground most of the time.

Cons

Massive scope creep with zero additional compensation. They increased the physical labor requirements significantly—shifting from digging standard 30-inch holes to digging 42-48 inch deep holes reinforced with rebar and four bags of concrete—while keeping the pay exactly the same.On top of that, logistics are awful. They closed down local supply hubs, forcing massive weekly driving distances just to fetch basic equipment, yet scheduling was so uncoordinated it took them weeks to stop assigning full workloads on supply-run days.Supervisors act like mindless "company men." I was left on read while experiencing severe heat exhaustion symptoms in 100+ degree heat just so a supervisor could check daily production metrics. They treat field techs like disposable machinery, expect brutal days with hours of exhausting driving through remote territories, and offer zero operational support. Even after you leave, offboarding is broken; internal IT support analysts ignore their own logistics vendors, leaving automated systems to spam former employees for weeks about equipment they don't have.
