Pros
Convoy's got a collection of the best talent that can be found. Ridiculously innovative, good pressure, huge momentum, great people and good general culture - we're what a start up is supposed to be right now. You learn a ton working at ANY startup but Convoy's amazing for personal growth - they really empower you to learn anything you want to; they encourage a thirst for knowledge and what better place to learn than with some of the most brilliant people in Seattle?
Cons
Undervalued - Every single one of my peers that I've talked to, who's not in management, feels undervalued. A few other reviews mentioned this; the salaries are way below market rate and they promise you paltry amounts of equity in exchange. You can't live on equity in a city as expensive as Seattle, and there’s an inherent risk in equity that they expect you’ll overlook. Overworked - expect to pull regular 10 hr days. If you want overtime, you'll be laughed at. People do it anyway because they're invested in the mission. If you leave on time or take a lunch break, you get side-eyes and disapproving glances (not even from management, it's just the culture here) if you’re in the operations teams. No upward mobility - management is almost always hired externally. I mentioned that a PRO was personal growth; a CON is that Convoy's a professional dead-end. You'll find a smattering of people promoted-from-within, but to be honest, it's a little curious how all of the people who are friends with management outside of work have been the ones who are promoted. Some of them have proven themselves - others have not. Diversity and sexism - HR’s trying, they really are, but it’s pretty bad here. One team in particular has lost every single woman they recruit within a few months of hire. We’re also pretty lacking in diversity.
