Pros

-Fast-paced and start-up feel -Very cool product you get to work with! Although there are many alternatives like Vital Proteins!

Cons

-CEO pays significantly lower than industry standards and only shows decency to people that know her prior to the interview (not a good job if you're an outsider) -Her CMO gets paid less than $30,000 and puts in an enormous amount of hours for the job. -This is NOT a company you want to work for.

I am sorry to hear about your experience at Further Food. As the CEO of Further Food, I value and take seriously all feedback. These have been an exciting couple of years at Further Food as we’ve grown quickly. You are correct, we are fast-paced and we work hard to create amazing products and customer experiences. We also highly value personal time (we have unlimited vacations) and actively support remote work options. Our team is mostly women, and we support and encourage work/life balance and flexible schedules, as this makes for healthier and happier employees! Some of your feedback is perplexing, making me wonder if you’ve actually worked with me or our team. We have had many interns and contractors work with us, none of whom I personally knew prior to interviews. All our current employees are “outsiders” as in I didn’t know any of them previously. We are a close-knit team, and everyone treats everyone with respect, curiosity, and openness. I personally spend a lot of time with every person who has worked in the Further Food ecosystem: training them and helping them to understand our company’s values, products, and our greater mission: to help everyone eat better and go further...to live healthier, active lives. Regarding your comment about salary, we have flagged this review as containing incorrect information. We’ve never had a “CMO” at Further Food or any full-time C- level employee earning a salary of less than $30,000. Please feel free to reach out to me personally if you wish to discuss your experience and concerns. Wishing you the best of luck. Lillian Zhao, CEO of Further Food

Pros

- Flexible remote work schedule - as long as you are attending scheduled meetings prepared and are engaged and getting your job done no one is worried about what hours a day you're working (which is a huge perk considering most of the team is in different time zones). - Startup mentality - every single team member takes pride in their work and can directly see the fruits of their labor. This has led to a very ambitious and caring team. - The entire team is extremely collaborative, support of new ideas and always open to testing and trying new things.

Cons

Minimal benefits - would love to see more employee perks and benefits as the company continues to grow.

Pros

Actual Autonomy, Empowerment, Remote Work

Cons

CEO is dishonest about compensation, equity, and opportunities for growth. She will look to find a scapegoat when things go wrong and there is no job security- they fired multiple people abruptly just because sales were down. The company is managed through fear and borderline abusiveness, who needs that?
