Pros
DogVacay was once an agile startup with a very promising future and a fun culture. The compensation is okay, benefits are decent and lots of amazing perks like bringing your dog to work. Work life balance is great and hours are flexible. They are absolutely amazing to dogs! I have learned to be a better dog owner after meeting so many dog experts. (This part hasn't changed at least.)
Cons
One bad hire after another really ruined the company's culture and negatively impacted the company's productivity and efficiency. Things move so slow that it doesn't even feel like a startup anymore. The company is overhiring in most departments and trying too hard to become a large corporation when it still has a lot of growing up to do. It makes more sense to figure out how to make your current employees more effective than to go on a hiring spree.
