Tailwind reviews about "team member"

Tailwind is a company unlike any I have ever worked at. We are growing and changing, and that is a good thing! The products we build are changing the way small businesses across the globe manage their online marketing! My team members and peers are some of the most talented individuals I know. Plus they are my friends. Flexibility with the changing work cultures. I have really appreciated our openness to full-time remote, but also welcoming people back into the OKC office.

- Flexibility to choose when and how you work. Everyone sets their own time off. You're measured by your results, not time spent working. - Incredibly empathetic, generous, and performance-driven culture. I felt right at home. - The team is growth-oriented, deliberate, and fast-paced. I immediately stepped into projects and responsibilities that make an impact. - Everyone I work with is ridiculously effective at their job and communicates exceptionally well. My best work at a previous company would be table-stakes here. The upside is that I've grown more in the past 6 months than I thought was possible. - My manager has been generous and supportive in my first 6 months — but still provide a wide range of autonomy. - Everyone is a part-owner in the company and shares in the upside. Super transparent decision-making means every team member understands why and how big decisions are made — and can their input is valued.

- Pay is very strong now that we're using national salary bands instead of local ones - Very clear focus and direction, with momentum building toward a really innovative new product direction - Leaders not afraid to take risks, push the boundaries on cool new tech or build unique products - Good hybrid work balance with most of the company fully remote or work from home, but still having office space available for those who need or want it - Caring team and coworkers that are gelling really well now (2022). It helps that certain discontented past team members have moved on. - Very high degree of transparency from top leaders - Attitude from top down that all ideas are welcome and good ideas can come from anyone - DEI work and strategy from the past couple years is showing sustainable progress - Great place to learn and build skills. Leans toward internal promotions over hiring external managers. Role changes to help people grow in the direction they want to are common.

I've worked at Tailwind for quite a while now, and it's been a fantastic place to learn and grow professionally. The team moves fast and there are always a ton of interesting problems to solve, and team members are always given a large amount of latitude to solve them. You're never stepping on people's toes. In general, the more you value independence and creativity at work, the more you'll value working at Tailwind. There's definitely less structure as a result, but again, I find that kind of environment really rewarding and fun to work in. The people here are all incredibly sharp, and you'll learn a ton trying to solve whatever your problem your team is tackling. And even though it can be fast paced and challenging, the company culture does promote a healthy work life balance. Benefits are fantastic, as are salaries (we've moved to a geo-agnostic salary model, and salaries are all pegged to NYC rates regardless of the employee's location). Tailwind is also fully remote, but does have an OKC office for those in the area who want to use the space. The leadership team is great, and works to maintain transparency, solicit employee input, and is generally responsive to issues surface by employees. One valid complaint called out in every negative review is one of our co-founders, who was also the head product. He had a toxic management style, which is why reviews here are polarized -- satisfaction at the company was highly correlated with whether or not you had to work with or adjacent to him. (Spoiler: I never did). He's no longer at the company, and the current VP of Product has been an absolute joy for folks in the company to collaborate with. I wish it hadn't taken so long to permanently address the issue with this co-founder, but I understand why it was tough given his position in the company. The CEO has always been the polar opposite of his partner in these respects.
