Pros

I've begun losing faith in startups especially after regularly experiencing and hearing about toxic work environments. I was really curious when I joined Blind how a company that claims to tackle workplace issues would handle their internal problems. From encouraging submission of anonymous questions to the CEO to being able to discuss anything during 1:1s, this is the first company I've been at where transparency is encouraged and actually welcomed all the time. The level of impact we have on giving people a voice is also extremely gratifying. Being in the shoes of many users who fear retaliation in the workplace, it's very rewarding getting the opportunity to spread the awareness of such a valuable tool. Really great perks including flexible work hours, meals and transportation expenses reimbursed!

Cons

Need more headcount to scale!

Pros

- People and coworkers are genuinely very nice - Work-life balance is great

Cons

- For a company that promotes "transparency", they will keep making you think like the company is doing okay, when in reality layoffs are just around the corner. Most of the US branch has been laid off due to the company's inability to execute on its goals. - Leadership and Product does NOT know what they are doing, they look like they are just making blind guesses. For example releasing "stories" to the mobile app only to realize months later that it was useless. Or pivoting the entire company to focus on cloning LinkedIn Jobs, only to realize they can't actually compete. They keep pushing for massive features that provide no real value. No wonder they are forced to do lay offs. - Major difficulties working with the Korean side of the company, there is just a massive language and cultural gap there. - There is not enough structure to keep the CEO in-check, nobody is willing to push back on his bad ideas. Most of the PM's are all inexperienced and don't know any better
