Pros
- The product and vision is unreal and truly disruptive to the industry - there is so much potential there (see Cons on why this won't happen). - 100% medical coverage - Above-average pay in the Utah area - A lot of autonomy in my job.
Cons
A few other posts have mentioned this: Divvy has a bro-culture through and through, especially on the sales side. This is common in the start-up space, so not unheard of for a company at this size & maturity. The bigger elephant in the room for Divvy is the preferencial treatment and bias towards employees who are part of the "community" here in Utah. If you are not part of that community, you are often ignored and excluded. I believe this to be mostly unconscious - when you hire mostly from one particular group, it's bound to exclude those who are not part of that group. There is also a serious diveristy problem at Divvy. The recent layoffs removed, coincidentally, most of the people of color that were at the company. Now the vast majority of the company are white males who went to BYU. They pretend the lift-up POC and the LGBQT+ community, however it seems to just be a farce. Most of those faces you see on their recruitment video (which were very obviously picked for a reason), are no longer with Divvy, and not of their own choice. Culture aside, Senior and Executive Management are vastly lacking any kind of experience. As the title states, I believe that if Divvy succeeds as a company, it will be by sheer accident and not the strategic leadership or vision of the leaders. And unfortunately, the company is doing so well that the board likely doesn't notice the immaturity of the leaders in charge, so they won't make a change. The amount of pivoting across the company in terms of focuses and priorities is dizzying, and yet there's still no clear strategy for how the company will succeed. They are incredibly short-sighted, focusing and celebrating winning Utah companies, while competitors like Brex and Airbase are taking over the rest of the US.
