Pros

If you're looking to get your toes wet in the start-up scene, this is an easy place to get into and is fairly low-stress out of the gate. There's a lot of fun people who work here and the environment has a strong startup feel. -fun office environment (pre-covid) with food and booze always available -very easy entry-level roles, quick advancement

Cons

Look at the review made on October 21st, 2020, then read the review posted on November 12th, 2020. The 2nd post was in direct response to the first, and shows you exactly how people are treated at this company when they show any dissent from management. You're always allowed to contribute, just "as long as it makes sense". It's comical that they posted that. But they have a history of plugging manufactured reviews on here, so that's par for the course. I once was a huge fan of the company and thought that they always did right by their employees. But when they fired a group of folks in summer of 2020, they did so on the 2nd to last day of the month, and health benefits were cut off on the 1st. Contrast that to a different startup (who is much smaller) who paid their employees for 3 months after their release, and had a company-wide initiative to assist those employees with re-employment. In this case, the grass wasn't only greener on the other side, the grass doesn't even exist at Scale. This also happens to be the most white-male dominated company I've ever seen. They don't look at diversity as a strategic advantage, they see it as a box to check for the HR department that doesn't exist. -below market compensation, no 401k match -zero onboarding / training -rapidly approaching unattainable sales quotas -awful middle management with no experience -very few transferrable skills out of this industry

Pros

Not that many to be honest.

Cons

Management team is an absolute joke. CEO LOVES himself and has to be the one making all decisions There is no strategic direction within company. Culture in company is very depressing. Everyone I know there is actively interviewing for jobs elsewhere. Company has Napoleon disease - think they are some huge market mover, they're not. Technology is avg to below avg - and thats being kind. Partners were revolting coming out of partner conference in Las Vegas Had to get rid of their HR leader because of "issues" in Las Vegas. (Fill in your own blanks - what happened in Vegas, didn't stay in Vegas)
