Pros
I've worked at Cratejoy since the start, and I have first hand seen how the company grew from a very small operation to the big success it is today. This is all thanks to the amazing leadership that have the knowledge and experience to make the right decisions at the right time. Any mistakes along they way are quickly identified and dealt with. Transparency is key and management is big on that.
Cons
When working in person it had the regular office problems with noise and interruptions, but since we're now mostly fully remote that isn't really even a problem any-longer.

Pros
I’ve worked at Cratejoy for 2+ years and have always loved it. The benefits are better than any other place I’ve worked: 99% healthcare coverage, 401k, HSA match, mental health benefits & very fair/competitive compensation. Plenty of food, snacks & drinks provided. Quarterly parties & happy hours (even Zoom HHs post-COVID). Flexible with work location & good at keeping employees feel engaged & aware of what's happening within the company even if remote. This company has a lean team with focus on engineering & marketing. Along with a product team to keep things structured and on-point. Everyone has a voice. It’s data-driven (in constant communication with users) and cares about making an impact with their product. This is a great place to work. The team in general cares a lot about their work. I’ve always had a lot of touch-points with leadership available including lunches with the CEO, one-on-one’s with members of my team (including manager), and meetings with cross-functional teammates. I’ve always felt the company cares greatly about my career. They offered a management training class for everyone (not just the leadership). They’ve hired full-time HR. The company is currently about 50% female, including the leadership team. There's a lot of autonomy in each role as it's a small team. The leadership team is always looking for input and feedback & makes a consistent effort to be transparent & clear about company direction & goals. In general, I feel the company is stable in their vision and puts their efforts into the right tasks.
Cons
They have let go of groups of people go in the past (~2y ago). This obviously came as a surprise and is always a bit disorienting and uncomfortable. I thought the leadership was as transparent as they could be in those situations. They held meetings afterwards to talk in-person and explain the decisions & direction of the company. I had & have confidence the company puts their energy into the right efforts. This wasn’t as alarming to me as I’ve worked at small companies — start-ups specifically — before and I understand how they operate. They experiment, they move quickly, they re-direct often which can be hard if you're not used to context-switching and it sometimes has personnel ramifications.
