Pros

- good food - friendly coworkers - great mission - decent pay - progressive values (can wear anything you want, LGBT friendly)

Cons

- favoritism very apparent - managers seem to not follow company values of empathy - employee turnover leads to environment that feels like anyone can disappear quietly without warning - managers seem to have trouble planning deadlines, leading to very rushed projects and assignments. - workers typically have to lie about meeting deadlines - I hear some workers work over 12+ hour days and six days a week - office seems to average one-third capacity - CEO seems to be rarely in office and very hard to access even though company is very small - company culture seems to favor positivity and passive aggressiveness to the point criticisms cannot be made anymore - workers often feel unrecognized for the labor they do - workers say their managers purposefully discourage communication between each other

Pros

The company overall has a strong product & mission – and strong people behind it. They're an empathetic, high-performing, talented group of people. There's a lot of opportunity for growth within the company, with people staying for 5+ years and taking on different roles along the way.

Cons

There's a lot to do – but if you are excited by the mission and willing to work hard, it's great.

Pros

- Mission driven company where the product is genuinely something that benefits the world - Hiring decisions have (historically) led to the hiring of skilled and highly driven employees who care about the aforementioned mission. - Compensation is fairly generous (but used to be more so) - High degree of coordination and interfacing between various teams - Nice office for the 2 days a week we're required to be in office

Cons

Binti regularly fires or otherwise loses incredibly talented people, with no care given to how that might impact current teams. Workloads are incredibly heavy and only handled by virtue of the remaining employees being very passionate about the work that they do. The company is willing to make actively bad decisions for 99% of the company if it is what the CEO wants, and the CEO is unwilling to admit that that's what's going on. The most painful thing is that despite appearing, by all accounts, to be a lovely and inclusive company, Binti's executive suite is very white and clearly has issues with black employees standing up for themselves. I've heard black coworkers talk about being told to smile more in meetings, or being told to stop sending messages in slack entirely because they weren't positive enough. If you need to get your bag, there's worse places to do it. Better Binti than Raytheon. But if it looks like a dream come true, be prepared for the nightmare that follows shortly. Also initially I wasn't going to post this, but then I saw the most recent flood of dubious reviews pour in. For anyone curious, Binti didn't get better all of a sudden. If anything, it got worse.
