It's rare for a CEO to be so involved in the day to day at a company, but BoomPop's CEO, Healey Cypher is active, and constantly advocating for employees. He's open about the decisions they make for the company and explains the reasoning behind them, which makes it easy to feel like you have a real stake in the brand. The health insurance benefits are also next level—seriously unlike any company I've previously worked (and I've worked at international fortune 500 legacy companies.) Point blank, Boompop actually cares. And their mission to bring people together is a truly noble one anyone can rally behind. Doing work for good people who want to do good just feels...good.
Cons
None, really. BoomPop is ambitious, which can be daunting to some. The fast pace isn't for everyone. I just can't wait for us to grow to a point where we can have even more resources to dominate the industry.

Thank you so much for sharing this!
We’ve always believed transparency should be real, not just a value on paper, so it’s great to hear that’s coming through in your experience.
Thanks again for being part of the journey with us.
Friendly and supportive team culture! It’s clear that the team really cares about the work we’re doing and is committed to building something great together.
Supportive, passionate, and competent team. Work feels genuinely impactful, and leadership takes every opportunity to be transparent and enable every team member to succeed.
To top it off:
- Competitive compensation and benefits
- Highly flexible remote work policies
- Amazing management
- Cutting edge technology
- GenAI that aids redundant and outdated processes that humans don't want to handle rather than GenAI for replacing human creativity and freedom
Cons
It's a fast-paced early-stage startup. Be wary of shifting goalposts, shifting work demands, and the other usual growth stage hurdles that young companies face.
"Fail fast, learn faster" in the age of AI-assisted programming also means suffering the same pitfalls that many other companies are facing today - especially when it comes to tradeoffs for velocity vs. tech debt.
