Pros

Amazing coworkers and managers: Smart, empathetic, collaborative, embrace challenges. Work-life balance: Flexible and respectful of people's lives outside of work. Engineering culture: Fellow engineers care about building a strong engineering culture together and in collaboration with partners. People take initiative to volunteer efforts in this direction even when resources are not being allocated for it. There are many female engineers here, even in more senior roles, which is unusual.

Cons

Churn and missing context: Leadership is often changing. Teams, priorities, and direction are not often stable. Many people are leaving the company lately. A lot of historical context about code and product decisions has been lost without much documentation to help newcomers onboard. Lately some decisions have not had strong ROI or business value data to back them up. It has been a repeating pattern that we are stretched thin over several "quick wins" or broader efforts that do not have significant ROI, instead of focusing on a smaller number of deeper problems we need to address.

Pros

• I work with genuinely kind, supportive people who are always willing to jump in and help or give feedback to help me grow. • I've had the opportunity to partner with a variety of teams and build meaningful relationships across the business even from a remote setting. • Flexible work environment that allowed for a healthy work-life balance. • I've always felt trusted to manage my workload and bring new ideas to recruiting processes. • Mission-driven culture with employees who truly cared about helping clients feel confident in their personal style. • Great place to develop recruiting skills while working alongside talented and thoughtful teammates.

Cons

• Stakeholder alignment could take time when multiple teams were involved in hiring decisions. • I honestly don't have many cons to share. I can genuinely see myself working at Stitch Fix for many years to come. It's a company that truly values its people, and I'm proud to say I work here when people ask. The culture, mission, and people make it a place where I feel supported, challenged, and excited to contribute every day.

Pros

- The company started out with good intentions I feel, as we have the ability to set our own schedule and working from home is always a plus.

Cons

- As time goes on, more and more have been taken away from stylists. Our scheduling freedom was removed this year, which was a huge reason most people applied for this job. In other part time jobs, you can usually give shifts away or trade with others, but now you have no flexibility and are expected to work max hours every week. - Stylists have not been given a raise in years and instead are capped after you work here for so long. - Seems like the company is heading in a direction for stylists to be taken over by AI, but we'll see! - You are completely controlled by your metrics, which a lot of times you have no control over because of bad inventory, but will be monitored and put on corrective action + eventually fired if your metrics aren't always where the company wants them to be
