Pros

Many wonderful, generous employees. Travel benefit Clothing discount

Cons

This company likes to think it's strategic, but it often feels like a game of Hungry Hungry Hippo. There is no commitment to a vision-- every plan gets shaken up/reorganized/overhauled every couple of months. I understand that one of the benefits of a smaller organization is that it can flex quickly, but this felt like constant whiplash. Pay is not at all competitive. Working conditions. The building is falling apart. One of the founders insists on everyone moving desks every few months, and that takes a lot of time and energy. It gets up to 90 degrees in the office during the warmer months, and HR's advice is to wear tank tops and eat a popsicle rather than perhaps work from a cooler location. Employees are expected to share rooms and bathrooms while traveling, which is inappropriate. One of the founders awkwardly sobs in every company meeting. She is extremely challenging to interact with.

Pros

Great people Cute kids clothes Focus on travel/global connection Great stated company values--if actually followed through on

Cons

One of the co-founders is legit and actually believes in the stated mission of the company--the other is a fraud who speaks a lot of nonsense. (Watch out for the crocodile tears.) Upper management keeps making bad business decisions Sub-par office working conditions with no climate control Compensation is absolutely on the low side of the scale Management plays favorites Terrible benefits
