Pros
- Part of Rock Family of Companies which opens career possibilities outside of StockX - Decent benefits (but not really the best as HR may claim during recruitment) - Chaos as a product of rapid growth gives you an opportunity to lay low and work as little as possible (unless you know better not to be like that)
Cons
- Lack of transparency - ex., 401k benefits during recruitment mentions employer matching benefit but fails to disclose vesting term - Lack of space - company is out-growing the space and constantly reshuffling team members. Rather than management stepping up and taking one for the team, they volunteer and assign the worse spots to the most junior team members and they place them in the worse location (ex., close to the kitchen - Senior management includes mid-late 20s who have been around since the company was founded and often clash with newer managers that were hired to do the job the pioneers can scale up and do . Some of these senior managers need to be repurposed or bought out if the company have any chance to survive - Infrastructure is not scaling up and architecture is anti-pattern and hacked together. There is so much coupling happening to the point that if a promo or product launch generates too much traffic, not only the site services go down but the coupled internal apps used in the Operations floor (where sneakers authentication takes place) go down as well! - In midst of the chaos, company decides to hire bunch of project managers from other industries like health and auto -- they're clueless of how hi-tech works and they bottleneck everything with their PMO practices
