Pros

Remote work (mostly), some great team members turned friends who are very hard workers.

Cons

The values are humble and hungry, but the leaders are far from humble. Be prepared to be a “yes” person, even if it goes against your values or beliefs. If not, you’ll get the cut. If you’re not a favorite of the CEO or COO you likely won’t last. Very disappointed in how they are running this business. Turnover is high for a startup with both people leaving on their own terms and layoffs happening every 1-2 weeks communicated as “restructuring” because of a new business model they are putting forth. Snackpass is a good idea, but unfortunately with the leadership currently in place they will crash and burn. They tear down the seasoned employees, and elevate the inexperienced. The communication is atrocious, if there even is any. People get berated publicly in slack channels, most of the time it’s from the leader themselves. It’s very much a “drop everything you’re doing” culture for things that aren’t even important. The founders are passive aggressive and there’s never alignment between any of the leaders. The founders and several of the leaders are extremely disrespectful! They have people in management that should not be in management and have never managed before. The inexperience, naivete and immaturity shows on a daily basis. They focus on the wrong things. The CEO continuously inserts himself into projects and departments and tries to take over, oftentimes unsuccessfully. Would not recommend working at this company unless they replace the current leadership (who are not true leaders). It’s extremely toxic and there are much better companies to work for. If you want to work with nice people, want respect and are looking for growth with a great culture look elsewhere because you won’t get it here.

Pros

Definitely doing interesting things in a stagnant industry. Super nice employees and good work life balance, but going nowhere.

Cons

Leadership could not be more disorganized and emotionally driven if they tried. Company will never escape the original sin of having been founded by college students. Completely new priorities every 3 months, driven by a CEO who speaks about bad ideas like he's writing a self help entrepreneurship book. Just feels like a lost zombie startup slowly waiting to run out of money. Raised too much in 2021. Cursed to never live up to the expectations set in that round.
