Pros

Been at Thinkific for about a year and a half, joined a couple of months before the first layoffs (theres been two rounds). Have really enjoyed my time here despite them, the works been interesting from a technical perspective and the benefits are second-to-none. I completely sympathize and empathize with the negative reviews here, however, and if I had been affected by the layoffs I don't doubt I'd be writing a very similar review. Just from my own personal experience, I've really enjoyed being here, outside of those very negative experiences. Unlimited PTO is absolutely amazing and has been greatly encouraged to make use of.

Cons

The layoffs are the obvious one. First one was bad enough, but following up less then a year alter after saying there'd be no more layoffs was killer. Alot of good poeple lost. Culture definitely hasn't recovered from them as of yet, will take time.

Pros

- Amazing Location - Beautiful office - Very friendly working environment and not stressful - Very understanding team - Unlimited vacation days policy - Lots of foods, snacks, and beverages - Pet-friendly office - A place that supports you to learn a lot and develop your career - A place that listens to everyone's idea and promotes it - A personal win is a company win and a company win is a personal win and we celebrate all the wins

Cons

- Salaries are average, not competitive, you might get a higher salary somewhere else, however, there are many other things that compensate for that! - Very fast paced company, you snooze you lose, you need to stay always alert and cope with the speed - Still building the process, this can go in both cons and pros, you might not find a good process that helps you but at the same time, you get the chance to participate in building one :)

Thank you for the feedback! One of the things we work hard to do is provide a work environment that helps our team feel productive while working, comfortable (and heard!) while sharing their ideas, and especially where they can feel they're learning and growing in their careers. We've come a long way in building out our processes and we're so fortunate to have team members who help us to continually improve them!
