Pros

The typical startup perks like snacks & drinks in an open floor plan office; unlimited PTO & remarkable health benefits for a company in this stage. What truly makes this company is the awesome team (super diverse and from both tech & retail backgrounds). There are many divisive decisions to be made day-to-day and I loved how I could get in a heated business disagreement with a teammate but then get a drink with them afterwards like nothing happened. If you are the type to carry a chip on your shoulder outside the office for decisions made within the office then you just don't belong at Reflex (I personally witnessed a few colleagues with this problem and they had a super short life span at the company).

Cons

Startups are not for everyone. First off, a venture-scaled business must grow or it will die. Sometimes this is a necessary evil when it comes to decision making and I noticed coworkers kicking & flailing along the way who just couldn't cope with the fact that certain cute ideas had no realistic path to scale. From my experience, Reflex actually leans towards being a non-typical startup work environment - for a company of it's size it is highly structured from the top-down, which might slightly bug you are a 'go fast & break things' type of person (they are already past this stage). I would guess there is a sweet spot to working here right now; people who have experienced a post-series A-B environment would likely have the least culture shock.

Pros

Amazing opportunity in the Austin area. Many jobs posted every day and it's a super user-friendly app. Support team is understanding and good at bridging between employer and associate.

Cons

If you miss the job, you can't pick it up. You basically have to be on your phone a lot to get work.
