Pros

Hybrid, but mostly work from home.

Cons

Really hard to explain how inefficient, ineffective and unusual the work environment is here. Bad team management. Hours wasted on endless internal reviews from inexperienced team members. Leadership doesn't listen, doesn't try to improve the quality of the product or the the quality of the work life for the employees.

Pros

Flexible, high energy, creative, and precise are just a few words to describe the culture at 51 labs. Clear company mission, vision, values. Leadership truly cares about the team.

Cons

Fast paced environment and difficult industry to understand

Pros

Uhm, I got paid? That was pretty much the only Pros.

Cons

It was absolutely terrible. I'm telling you guys, DO NOT work here. If you're young and need a job, please don't go here. Management was basically non-existent, and they are in DIRE need of an HR department because Jesus Christ, they did so many things that a company should NOT be doing. Management was so invasive and I honestly felt so uncomfortable being in-office. They'll shower you with compliments in the beginning, tell you how great you are, and then a few weeks down the line you're scum to their shoes. They do not value their employees. I am pretty sure they hired like 7 people before me, and out of the 7, 5 of them quit. Also, Jordan needs to learn how to communicate with people. I don't understand why he is the way he is. It's not because "that's just how he is", he needs to actually learn to sit down and have a normal conversation with someone. He comes off WAY TOO invasive, and forces you to communicate in the way that he does (which is impossible). I really don't appreciate any of you in management. I'm sorry, but it had to be said. Be more professional, kind, and caring, that goes a long way. I was nothing but that in the first few weeks, and I just felt like I was being taken advantage of in the middle of pure chaos. Oh yeah! Be prepared for constant notifications during non-work hours, and yep, even on the weekends! How wonderful does that sound!
