Pros

Most of the people are great to work with and are generally kind/hard working people.

Cons

The founder thinks he knows how to design and will tell you prescriptively what to do (does not trust you to do your job, nor does he encourage you to explore creatively which inevitably will never lead to good design). I was berated in a meeting in front of my whole team and was told in the most condescending way possible that my designs were "off-brand/cartoonish" which In my 6+ years of designing, I've never experienced such awful/not constructive feedback (I've always worked with kind/supportive founders that have liked my work). The last few months of working at Dutch gave me so much anxiety and completely stifled any creative spirit I had. Please treat your people better.

Pros

Talented, kind coworkers who genuinely want to help each other succeed. Leadership is thoughtful and transparent, and the work feels meaningful with real ownership and impact. Strong culture of trust, autonomy, and collaboration.

Cons

Like any fast-growing company, priorities can shift quickly and things can feel fast-paced at times. Requires comfort with change and ambiguity.
