Pros

Really cool product and a mission you feel good about. It's cool to work for a brand that so many high-profile influencers and celebrities love (another nod to the really awesome product they make).

Cons

The "celebrity" founder is not involved at all. Never came into the office once. Never was in a meeting. Never sent an email. Nothing. Never met her. One or two people in the company could figure out a way to get her to pose for some pictures at home to use on the site, but that's all. The other two founders are at least always there, but they are equally as troublesome. One is a complete jerk to your face almost daily, the other is generally nice but a complete jerk behind your back if he ever disagrees with you. Meetings devolve into awkward shouting sessions where the CEO/founder would be yelling and talking down to this one tech/ops guy for like half the meeting. They really don't know what they're doing, but have lucked out to have such a nice product. The technology they built to manage the business is really a mess too.

Pros

I have found everyone at the company to be positive, collaborative, and capable. People are willing to help each other across departments, and everyone seems to be well-aligned with the mission of the business. I also think the product is really good, which makes it easier to go to work every day. It's a high-growth startup, so there's a lot of opportunity for career development, rising in the ranks, and broadening one's skillset. The company has a mission to promote sustainability and works to live that mission in every way it can.

Cons

It's a high-growth startup, which naturally comes with challenges as the business develops and expands. There is a lot of work to be done, but in general the company does promote and respect a work-life balance.

Pros

Great mission, in theory. Very cool product with a ton of potential. Good people.

Cons

CEO is impossible to work with. Decisions are made overnight, with no notice and no thought for the impact, yet everyone is expected to change course immediately. Products are designed without the actual user experience in mind. Major tech debt that makes it impossible to make effective improvements. Absolutely zero company culture or camaraderie.
