Grailed Reviews

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.

Engineering management acts like their employees are friends or unfit servants. Opportunities are granted exclusively by tenure or friendship -- never considering ability or track record. Intense 'insiders club' culture -- where not being an insider means you are being precisely monitored, by the second, for failure. You will be micromanaged - asked for constant status updates - until you feel sick. Culture rewards incompetency - hard work is actively punished. Expect to be sabotaged, mercilessly, at every single turn. Senior engineers get zero responsibility -- just 'code tickets.' It's absolute utter insanity. I've never experienced such toxicity in a tech culture in my life & I have been in industry for many years at many companies.
