Pros

Foundhuman has its heart in the right place. The concept is great. The execution is HORRIBLE. If you’re looking to join a small company to make money walk away. If you’re looking to care more about why you do what you do and don’t care about getting paid on time…walk on in. This company is designed to break even, operate as a non profit, and barely pay the bills. The struggle is trying to figure out how to scale. Until That is figured out this company will remain under 5 employees. I don’t hate the people there but potential employees need to be informed on what they’re walking into. Recruiting consultant - account management and recruiting. Think agency AM + recruiter - BD. You will be asked to do A LOT and bc of the lack of business you can’t walk away from anything. CES - you help schedule interviews, handle letting candidates down. You partner with a recruiter and help Manage the client

Cons

They need to figure out how to run a profitable company. The previous reviews although aren’t 100% accurate also aren’t 100% incorrect. Based on current numbers they need to average 30+ placement per year per recruiter per year for sometimes very hard to find roles with very needy clients. A lot more thought needs to be put into how to make the company work.

Pros

I cannot say enough positive things about this place - it is truly a people first company that walks the talk. We all have a stake in the business, expectations are clear, we have autonomy over our work, trust in getting it done, support when we need it, challenges and honest, thoughtful feedback ... It's not about finger pointing, blaming when there are mistakes - it's about being a team, course correcting and learning and growing from our mistakes. We care about each other, about our clients and about our candidates. The pace is fast, there are challenges every day, but I am empowered to solve them and I know who to turn to when I can't do it myself. I can share my concerns with my boss and know that I will be heard and we can work toward a resolution. Other perks: - 1 mandatory day off a month - All federal holidays off - Unlimited PTO (though we are a small startup so it's not really like we can have unlimited - I say within reason) - ESOP - Thnks - Entire team is fully remote - No Sunday Scaries --> legit!!

Cons

Not a con - but the reality of the startup world is that things move quickly, there is not always a process, and the workload is high. This can be challenging, but in my short time with the company we have put in processes, iterated, communicated and actively worked on making the workload more manageable. Things are not perfect here by any means, but we are a team, have each other's backs and we get through it all together. You either thrive in this sort of environment or you don't, and it's important to know that about yourself and be honest; no judgement or shame if it's not your jam --> find something that truly is! Pay and health care could be better -- but that's definitely not unique to FoundHuman. My only true con is that there is no 401k.

Pros

I have never worked for a company that has a team of people who work together so effectively and actually care about each other. We all work remotely, unless we want to work from the Boston office, and even though I have not met most of the team, I know about their lives and feel like they are my friends as much as my coworkers. When we disagree, we talk about it and come to a solution. The founder of FoundHuman, Gregg Armitage, is one of the best supervisors that I have ever worked for. He genuinely cares about what motivates each individual employee and finds ways to help us tailor our jobs to help us be the most productive and best employees. I never want to work anywhere else again.

Cons

FoundHuman is a relatively small company, for now, so sometimes we wear multiple hats (which can be fun), but we are all such hard working people who care about the company, that from time to time, we bite off more than we can chew. On a plus though, it's a quick turn around to get back on track to a reasonable work load. The work always ebbs and flows.
