Pros

Coworkers are all kind, hardworking, helpful, and accessible. Health benefits/401K are great.

Cons

The CEO is an egomaniac. He wants to be seen as altruistic, but is far from it. BTS, he belittles the women executives, has fits of rage, discredits anyone who comes to him with a different opinion, has eliminated positions without severance, and has made stereotypical comments about team members ethnicities. He once made a joke about one manager in front of the entire team for not finishing college. It made everyone uncomfortable. All of the upper management act like they're in a cult and will not challenge his ideas. They all say they value diversity, but it's all group think, which is why so many people leave. During the pandemic, he froze 401K matching, but then would brag to everyone in the company meetings for months about how the businesses were doing better than ever. For the Bay Area, salary is extremely low.

Pros

- Being a smaller company, employees are given independence to voice new ideas and try new things. Managers are always there if someone wants help and it really is a great company in terms of giving employees independence and not micro-managing. - The company provides lunches daily for all team members as well as a full kitchen stocked with many healthy snacks and drinks - The company has many different offices around the world including California and Utah in the US, Toranto and Victoria in Canada, as well as Armenia and Guatemala. While almost all team members never change offices indefinetly, some work in different offices for a week or so and its always fun having departments with team members from different backgrounds. - One Planet provides 5-10 service days (paid days off) per year where employees are encouraged but not required to do volunteer work. I think most people love to give back to others when they can and these are always a great oportunity. This is in addition to a conventional PTO system of 15 days off plus holidays. - The company has two company parties a year with one being near the end of the summer and the second being a holiday party to end the year.

Cons

- The 15 PTO days off a year does not include sick days. - In the past if Christmas Eve or New Years Eve falls on a weekday, it has been a "manditory" pto day. People have the option to work those days, if they dont want to use their PTO, but it would be nice if they were just holidays.
