Work ethic, effort, seniority and knowledge can't save you from lay offs.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO. - 100% work from home. - Great example of how a company should NOT be run.

Cons

Nothing we haven't read before. - Lay offs every quarter, regardless of what you have offered to the company, the time you were employed and your knowledge. They 'd rather keep cheaper employees that have no idea what they're doing. - Reactive management. No sense of direction. You can spend a whole week working on a project that is supposedly super important and next week it's like it never existed and there's a new project needed YESTERDAY. - Stressful environment, mainly due to the factors above. You never know if you're next on the chopping block. - STO model does not work if you're keeping management or employees that do not have the skills,whether soft or technical, and they're just there to get an easy paycheck and run their team to the ground.

Pros

Overall, my experience as an employee at Hopper has been far from satisfactory. The laughable equity program, the lack of originality in policies, the questionable product offerings, and the arrogant leadership have left me disillusioned. I would caution anyone considering a career at Hopper to carefully evaluate their priorities and ambitions before joining a company that seems more interested in cost-cutting and imitation than in fostering a thriving and innovative work environment..

Cons

As a current employee at Hopper, I feel compelled to share my disappointments and frustrations regarding the company. While there are a few positives, such as the option to work from home (WFH), the cons heavily outweigh any benefits I have experienced. One of the major drawbacks of working at Hopper is the joke of an equity program. Despite promises of potential financial gains, employees are only allowed to vest a measly 3% of their vested shares. This lack of equity distribution significantly diminishes the incentives for employees to stay with the company and work towards its success. It seems that Hopper is more interested in hoarding the majority of the equity for themselves rather than rewarding their hardworking employees. Furthermore, it is disheartening to discover that Hopper's policies are essentially copied and pasted from Amazon. Originality and independent thinking are vital in the tech industry, yet Hopper seems content with mimicking the practices of a larger competitor. This lack of innovation raises concerns about the company's ability to stand out in a highly competitive market. Perhaps the most troubling aspect of Hopper is its major product, Price Freeze, which is nothing more than a scam. AI language model, such as ChatGPT, could easily replace this supposedly groundbreaking feature. It is disheartening to work for a company that relies on deceptive tactics to lure customers, rather than providing genuinely valuable and innovative solutions. Note : There are several pending lawsuits about this product
