Pros

Great product benefits, good office location, remote work options. Decent yearly bonuses when the company is doing well finacially (currently not the case)

Cons

Management expects you to put in 110% effort and work extra without any additional compensation. There is peer pressure to work extra hours during busy periods because everyone else is doing it. You're also often asked to do tasks outside of your work description, because senior management has certain whims that just have to be done by a certain date. You hear vague promises of potential career growth, how if you just "put in some extra effort" you can achieve XYZ in the company, which is a load of rubbish. The people who have gone up in the company without being best friends with the founders often work nights and weekends with no extra pay all year round and everyone is stressed beyond words. Everything is disorganised and information isn't documented well. You have to ask around if you want to know what's going on in the company, because management hasn't figured out a decent system of how to keep people in the loop.

Pros

My experience thus far has been a remarkable journey filled with growth, opportunity, and support. BY FAR truly values its employees. The camaraderie among employees in unmatched, and it feels like one big happy family working toward common goals. BY FAR and the CEO Sabina fosters a culture of innovation. We're encouraged to bring our ideas to the table. BY FAR is more than just a workplace; it's a place where you can thrive both professionally and personally. If you're looking for a company that values its employees, offers growth opportunities, and embraces innovation, this is the place to be. I'm genuinely proud to be a part of this organization and excited about the future here. Thank you, BY FAR, for making work feel like a second home.

Cons

Honestly, it's challenging to find significant downsides to working at BY FAR. Every organization has its minor hiccups, but they're quickly addressed, and they pale in comparison to the overall positive experience.
