Pros
There are some great people who work at this company. Some are new but some have been there for years and have a great knowledge base of the products. Unlimited PTO. Remote work. Flexibility.
Kontras
There are quite a few - 1. Upon resignation, there was no contact made by HR. No exit interview or survey occurred. There was no announcement to the company or teams that I worked with. This isn't anything new, though. Quite a few people have quit without word and we don't hear about it until way after the fact. But without this interview, there is no opportunity to provide feedback - which I question if they really want in the first place. 2. No bonus. No raise throughout employment even though multiple promises were made from multiple people within a leadership position. 3. The expectation is that this company operates at a high level with an extremely high output but they still operate as a startup. There is a lack of resources available and a lack of growth within teams. 4. Products are being marketed without a full knowledge of the products themselves. They are also being pushed out without any content. Campaigns are planned out within the marketing team but then other campaigns from leadership are requested and spun up very quickly without any real plan or direction just to check a box they feel needs to be checked. 4. One of the companies core beliefs is execute with speed, not perfection. Ok, not terrible. But they take it way too seriously thinking that things can just be done in a couple hours when there are already numerous things running and in play. This creates a lot of confusion and a constant need for pivoting. 5. Rarely are teams on the same page. They may leave Meeting 1 on the same page but then some other meeting happens with only some of the same people attending and then everything changes. Without immediate communicaiton about the changes, things progress and then have to constantly be adjusted or redone. There is a lot of work that is done and rushed that ends up going nowhere because things are constantly changing. 6. A lot of people have a lot of opinions on how things are done. Unfortunately, this is so extreme that this has caused a sense of micromanaging throughout the company. In turn, it makes employees question their ideas, qualifications for the jobs they were hired to do as well as who their true leader is for their team. If you want to get into a role where you are focused and have a clear line of management and direction, then skip Level Data. They are operating as a startup with the expectation of a mid-size company. Bottom line, no matter what you do, it's just never enough.
