Pluspunten
-I love working at 75F, and having the satisfaction of knowing I am making a difference, however small. Compared to other organizations I have been at, we care about customers and trying to do what is right, and so it's hard to imagine working at a 'normal' company with boring products now. -Office perks and a great work environment. For the first time in my career, I legitimately love all of my colleagues. Everyone here is really, really smart. At my last company I was a star but here there are a lot of them. There is no friction or politics here. Nobody talks about doing something a certain way because 'thats how we used to do it or have always done it'. Every employee knows what everyone else is working on and is willing to help each other. I hope these things never change. -Highly transparent and flat executive team that is unafraid to invite harsh criticism and work to get better. Ex: our CEO is brilliant but not polished or always a great communicator. He shares what he is working on each week, what he is reading, and sometimes even what he is learning from his personal executive coach. Once he argued with a colleague publicly and then apologized publicly with a gift to try and make it right and shared why he thought he had made a mistake. All employees can give him or any other managers anonymous feedback that is publicly shared across the company--and the managers seem to listen, discuss, and act on it.
Minpunten
-Hours are long and the work is very intense and high paced. A lot of friends and employees didn't last because they weren't able to adjust to the stress that comes from everyone being handed huge responsibility and huge expectations. -Pay and equity is mediocre. All employees receive equity though, which is really nice. Similarly, health care plans are good but not great. If I left, it would be because I am getting offers for much more money elsewhere, and several recruiters have tried to hire me because I am coming from a leader like 75F. -In order to be transparent, there has to be meetings where everything is shared. In order to be paperless there is a huge tech stack of tools and processes to learn. In order to understand our customers we are expected to learn a TON about building controls and complete internal courses and hands on demos on everything we make. All this takes away from the time we have left to do our jobs and introduces stress, but probably can't be avoided.
