Pluspunten

The company has a noble mission

Minpunten

It took a few months to recover from the trauma developed during my time there. There's probably not a single female that lasted over 2 years. They'll try to sell all the benefits of working at a startup. Don't bite it. Go to a startup run by emotionally mature people.

Thank you for providing feedback. It certainly hurts to hear what you went through, and I take complete ownership for the ways we let you down. I believe that the journey of building something involves many mistakes and a willingness to listen and learn. I'm happy to report that in the past two years since our pivot, we've built a strong culture with very low turnover, and a focus on values such as sincerity, collaboration, ownership, optimism, and tenacity during a period of growth. Diversity in all its forms is also a value we strive for. It is surprising to hear that you felt like a punching bag, and that's not how I view anyone on our team or believe anybody should be treated, but I acknowledge how you felt and apologize for anything that led to that. I would respectfully disagree with how we approached hiring and compensation during that period, although I will acknowledge it didn't make everyone happy, and wasn't for everybody. We did what we could to stay alive, including founders not taking salary. I am proud of how we learned lessons and eventually grew into something much stronger with a much larger impact. But I won't forget and will be grateful to those who took that risk with us back then, and I'm especially sorry for the trauma you experienced. I am open to connecting offline if you want to share further.

Many externships are unpaid. Experiences may not be as immersive as traditional internships. Value can vary depending on the company partner and project. Some employers may place greater weight on traditional internships.
