Pros

Working for a company that's genuinely trying to make the world a better place and connect more people to nature. Creating economic opportunities for small business owners, farmers, and landowners. Helping facilitate really wonderful experiences for people from all over the world. Getting to work with incredibly smart, fun, dynamic people who are continually learning from and respect each other. Treated like adults who can meet goals, integrate our work & personal lives, and manage our days. Other perks: beautiful, dog-friendly workplace, discounts on Hipcamp stays, stocked lunch, fun company outings.

Cons

The typical growing pains you see at lots of early, growth-stage startups. We need to remember that while we're growing rapidly, we should constantly prioritize creating and adhering to systems that will support internal culture and career growth. Growth at any cost is antithetical to who we are.

Pros

Some incredibly smart people to work with and learn from. Great work/life balance and perks especially for outdoor enthusiasts.

Cons

Overall culture leaves much to be desired. New hires are thrown into the deep end to see if their work style lets them float or sink in their established pool of team dynamics. Most employees seem to be veterans of the company seeing 5-8 years tenure with little action to continue hiring and growing the team; also made evident by the lack of any team-specific onboarding process. Expected to self-onboard based on outdated documentation and company’s slack history. Company normalizes operating on minimal resources and expects employees to take on several hats outside of their role for every project or task assigned to them.
