Pros

It's really cool to tell your friends you work at Grailed, even better that Kendall Jenner might pop in from time to time. They raised a lot of money so have all of the resources they need. They also make cool swag, work on really cool brand collabs and are dominating the resale space when it comes to mens high fashion. People work hard, sometimes. They will pay you whatever you ask for.

Cons

Leadership team is extremely immature, main cause -CEO is Extremely irrational and almost dictatorish in his leadership style. This is not an environment where autonomy exists. Progress, decisions and any builds come to a complete halt if CEO doesn't approve but he also has a hard time making any type of strategic decision (it's probably because he's never had any other job, ever, aside from working for himself). This is not a female friendly environment. Women can't have opinions and are not supported- many are let go when they try to bring logic into any conversation. It apparent externally aws well in how little love is put into Heroine (womens site) and how much is put into Grailed (mens site). CTO's personal Grailed account got hacked, which is laughable... There are some really great and smart people that work there but are under utilized because of the leadership style of the CEO. Example- CEO would disappear for a week or more anytime he had to make a big decision (as a CEO, that's literally your main job ....) which paralyzed the business since nothing could get pushed thru without his complete buy in. They also use their fundraising money to go on no expense spared vacays among the bros in the office. People never get any type of objective feedback then get fired randomly without logical or identified cause. They've had a lot of great ideas in terms how to to innovate the product but none have gone into fruition. If you are a man, like rick owens and say yes a lot and vape probably a good fit. If you are looking to grow your career and learn and are not a man, this is not a place that will provide any of that.

Pros

-Great direct team to report to -Auth departments all working collaboratively to ensure accuracy and accountability -Working with CX requests to ensure buyers/sellers are protected from scams

Cons

-Lack of direction for most of time worked there -Leadership at the top leaves more to be desired -Continuous implementations that are late to capitalize on their popularity -Pay could be improved considering the company now falls under an umbrella of other brands worth billions today -Dead end
