Pros

Great compensation and benefits. Mostly great work/life balance with some busy times sprinkled in. Some of the smartest engineers I've ever worked with and you will learn a lot from your team mates and become a better dev while you're here. For the most part everybody is really helpful and nice, it's a good culture at the IC level. If you want to take on new challenges, just be proactive and assert yourself, engineers are given a lot of trust and are allowed to drive decisions. No CTO in a corner office dictating what library we're going to use because he listened to a podcast one time, etc, etc

Cons

There's no nice way to say it, senior leadership has been incompetent and directionless in recent years and it has hurt the company. Everyone gets stock as part of their compensation and it's demotivating to see your stock (real dollars, not pre-IPO stock options) decrease in value because of poor leadership It's getting better with the new CEO (Matt) and CPTO (Tony). There has been a lot of good change since they came aboard, so hopefully they're here to stay and the carousel of new leaders can stop...

Pros

The people you actually work with are actually fantastic humans and brilliant engineers. They're eager to learn, collaborate, and help no matter what level they are or team they're on. You can make real friends here.

Cons

Unfortunately, the business just hasn't been as stable as it used to be. Leadership is always changing something and there isn't as much transparency about those decisions as there once was.

Pros

• I work with genuinely kind, supportive people who are always willing to jump in and help or give feedback to help me grow. • I've had the opportunity to partner with a variety of teams and build meaningful relationships across the business even from a remote setting. • Flexible work environment that allowed for a healthy work-life balance. • I've always felt trusted to manage my workload and bring new ideas to recruiting processes. • Mission-driven culture with employees who truly cared about helping clients feel confident in their personal style. • Great place to develop recruiting skills while working alongside talented and thoughtful teammates.

Cons

• Stakeholder alignment could take time when multiple teams were involved in hiring decisions. • I honestly don't have many cons to share. I can genuinely see myself working at Stitch Fix for many years to come. It's a company that truly values its people, and I'm proud to say I work here when people ask. The culture, mission, and people make it a place where I feel supported, challenged, and excited to contribute every day.
