Pros

Good people and a very interesting product

Cons

Everyone just came out of the military, now WLB. And that also makes them very "obedient" no free thought for engineers. PMs run the show and are afraid of push backs. When someone challenges their world view of the product it shakes them. Very very disorganized company the entire vision sits in the head of a few people.. no processes.

Pros

I love working at Port! It embodies everything I love about being at a startup. Every action from each team member has an immediate impact, and I truly feel like I can move the needle. I feel seen, trusted, and appreciated. I really enjoy my teammates and the company culture. Yes, not everything is planned out 6 months in advance, and sometimes priorities change and you need to adapt. But so does the market. At Port, I feel we’re agile and able to respond quickly rather than getting stuck in bureaucracy. Leadership is a message away and welcomes every employee's ideas and feedback. I don’t think many employees can say they have that level of access and direct communication at other places. It’s one of the things that makes Port such a special place to work.

Cons

I think working on a fast paced startup is not for everyone. Hours can be longer than your typical 9-5 and processes are still not fully mapped out. Can be frustrating but also can give you a chance to help map them out and have an impact.

"I feel seen, trusted, and appreciated" - that's exacly the culture we work hard to build every day. The chaos that comes with growing fast is real, and we know it, happy it feels like opportunity rather than something negative. Zohar (CEO)

Pros

Good PTO and Health Benefits. Some really nice people on the team to work with.

Cons

High turnover makes it so there is not a lot of continuity in the processes, and adds to the already high level of disorganization. Senior level people are not involved in day to day processes and this keeps them very disconnected from whats actually going on. Trying to pass off a whole AI narrative for stuff thats half built and not a validated need in the market. A lot of the stuff has already been covered in other reviews.

This is difficult to hear. Regarding the point on padding reviews, we simply invited the team to provide their genuine perspective, whatever that might be. The feedback about the gap between leadership and day-to-day operations hits home, and I won't offer excuses. I own that. Zohar (CEO)
