Pros

-Amazing benefits -Transparency from all levels of management -Professional growth budget each year to learn new skills/attend conferences -Very invested in their employees and maintaining retention -Fun events throughout the year to celebrate wins and just to show employee appreciation -Many opportunities to voice your opinion on strengths/weaknesses of the company which they use to make improvements. They are making great strides to listen to their employees and make changes based on feedback -Fun workplace -Very team oriented, everyone supports each other -Dog friendly! -Everyone seems to really enjoy coming to work every day and working hard to help do their part in meeting company goals

Cons

-Not a lot of "middle management" positions to grow into but they are working to change this! -Growing very quickly which has come with a need for growing the headcount. They are working diligently to hire great candidates but until that goal is reached there is a heavy workload in some departments -Very comprehensive hiring process which is great for the company (selective, well-placed candidates) but can be a con if you are expecting an easy hiring process!

Pros

The office culture is great and there are a lot of nice elements around the office (ping pong, music, snacks, etc) as noted by many other reviewers. The best thing about Gather is the product. We are doing things that nobody else is and are building a truly disruptive technology that is positioned to influence the market space. The fact that the company is still small means a lot of cross-pollination between departments which is interesting and it gives a unique ability to influence teams outside of your direct department. Gather is very open to new ideas & technology and isn't afraid to make a change that can improve performance or process. Everyone in the office is smart, hard-working, thoughtful, respectful, talented and quirky. I feel motivated to get better by seeing other people perform at a high level regularly.

Cons

As expected, things change frequently (a positive that comes with startup life) but this change can be painful if it isn't clearly communicated. It can sometimes feel like all departments aren't on the same page or aren't aware of new policies, features or upcoming initiatives. Top performers are frequently promoted but there seems to be a gap in leadership development that creates high turnover and inconsistency.
