Pros

underwear, socks and shirt discounts

Cons

I'm glad people are finding the courage to speak up in the recent reviews. Look closely, most positive reviews were posted within weeks of each other. This is because people ops guilt tripped people into writing to attract more candidates. In fact, most of the positive reviews are written by the people ops or leadership teams. There is a toxic group-think prevalent at MeUndies in which employees must drink the kool-aid or be pushed out. Leadership claims to support constructive feedback & challenging status quo -- it's all fake rhetoric. They will scheme your demise behind your back if you dare to challenge. And, they will not warn you. They are out for themselves, not you. Please beware. I agree with another reviewer's comment regarding the facade of "family." It is not a family, it is a immature high school. Gossip is rampant. People are investing far more time & energy in politics than the customer. If you challenge fellow coworkers with logic, you will be lectured for not being a team player. To thrive at MeUndies you must be a politician willing to make bad decisions sometimes if that's what management wants. You cannot be too passionate or care too much. You must disconnect from what your experience tells you is right, smile & execute robotically. You can't be in it for the customer.

Hey There, Ellen here. As you may know, ensuring we have a company culture where team members are happy, comfortable, and excited to work every day, is something that is extremely important to me. I find it disheartening that your experience doesn’t seem to be consistent with the environment we hope to provide employees, and for that, I am genuinely sorry. I would love if we could have the opportunity to discuss further (whether in person, on the phone, or whatever feels best for you) to better understand your feedback and what we as a company can do to improve the experience for team members moving forward. While many other Glassdoor reviews do indicate a different experience than yours (and I promise they were willingly written, and not by People Ops and leadership!!) we do take your feedback seriously and I do want to better understand why you’re feeling this way. Please shoot me an email at ellen@meundies.com, and we can setup some time to talk. Ellen

Great place to work. Smart team, and an exciting time to be part of the company. The CEO/Founder really cares about the product and employees. Free lunches for every day in office at HQ (four days a week).

Pros

* Catered lunches every day * WFH Fridays * Some really nice people

Cons

* Poor leadership that stems from the top, with the executive team patting themselves on the back while the teams under them are in chaos * Unclear priorities that change on a dime with the whims of upper management *Constant turnover of staff *Inflexible in office days and hours- but not for everyone * Weird feeling that you are being "watched" if you leave for lunch, or have friendships- they don't want people to acknowledge the mess the company is in * Definite feeling of cliques, where some people are favored and allowed flexibility and praise, and others they could care less when you leave *Tone deaf owner thinks this is a big happy family
