Pros
Puffin is a fun, energetic startup with a promising product. The team is collaborative, hard-working, and a joy to spend time around. The company allows dogs in-office. The small team size allowed me to learn a lot and grow within my role.
Cons
Be wary of a company that touts "fun" as a benefit. Aside from the generous PTO policy, benefits are lackluster and work/life balance is not prioritized. Recent policy changes coupled with inconsistent rule enforcement across departments have created a toxic environment riddled with frustration and trust issues. Management is more concerned with employee's physical presence in-office rather than performance. Work from home policy is rigid and doesn't reflect the changing needs of the workforce. Compensation falls short of market value, and raises do little to keep up with the high cost of living in Bend.
