Pros

When I first joined, the company had an inspiring culture and a leadership team that genuinely motivated employees. The best part of my experience was working with incredibly talented and bright colleagues who made each day enjoyable and intellectually stimulating.

Cons

Over time, I noticed a significant decline in the culture and communication from the leadership team. By the time I left, the disconnect between leadership’s vision and the needs of the product development teams became a major obstacle. As a product manager, I felt I was not set up for success. My manager didn’t provide the necessary support, and the lack of clear communication between leadership and the product teams made it challenging to achieve goals effectively.

Pros

* Fast-paced environment, very much like consulting, working with clients to solve their soil quantification needs. * Wide variety of projects, agronomy, grazing, and sustainability. * Approachable leadership. * The company supports professional development opportunities. * Remote work allows for flexibility.

Cons

* Like most startups, over-promising/over-committing. * Remote working reduces collaboration and team interaction.

Pros

Good experience and valuable skills to add to your resume. Great people to work with and there are learning opportunities if you have the willingness to spend time helping in other departments.

Cons

The compensation doesn’t match the work and expectations. More money goes to automation than the employees. No sick hours or compensation is provided when we are unable to work at no fault of our own and PTO accrual is really low.
