Great Company - Director Metromile Employee Review

Learned a lot, very helpful coworkers

Nothing to share for this, had a great experience

We’ve got a great ~40 person team with really smart people that are also super fun to hang out with. Weekly happy hours, weekly beer o’clock during company demos, board game nights, karaoke, musical jam sessions, catered lunch 2x a week (sometimes 3 with in-house tech talks), are always expanding and growing, Product Managers who make it easy for you to do what you are good at, 2 week sprints / release cycles, subsidized Muni/Bart etc passes, $50/mo on gym & equipment, an amazing CEO who will also be your best bud but still someone you super respect, user-centered, and of course, car lovers. The compensation is market-rate and fair, with equity. Very flexible schedules so you don't have to worry about going to an appointment in the middle of the day or going home early for your kid's baseball game. People generally come in between 8-10 and leave between 5-7, and have a specific passion that they are working on here. Upper management cares about how you want to progress in your career, and give you plenty of opportunities to grow and learn. Very supportive team with a general sense of camaraderie, as evidenced by frequent nerf gun battles.

We're still a small startup, so there are some growing pains like small office (working on moving soon), and having to figure out best practices, processes, and work flows for your field through some trial and error, instead of having them already in place. However, it's still extremely rewarding and you have a lot of ownership in building company culture and processes for your specific field. In my 2+ year experience, the company has been pretty fast at iterating on working out kinks of being a small startup.
