Disappointing

Pros

Some individuals on the team are trying, office is beautiful, free lunch

Cons

My experience at Simple Habit was disappointing. It is a seed stage startup, with all the typical culture difficulties and tenure issues that most seed stage startups experience. The founder was, shall we say, challenging. I had hoped for a wellness focused meditation environment, but instead found just another fledgling startup.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm deeply sorry that your experience at Simple Habit was disappointing. I wish you the best of luck in future endeavors and hope you find the work environment you are looking for. To anyone considering a position at Simple Habit: Please know that I am deeply passionate about creating a company where employees can live better, every day. A company that embraces its employees with love, honesty and integrity. A company that invests in employees' personal and professional growth. I believe we have a real shot at building a great company and at the same time having a positive impact on this world. I want to address a couple of the points mentioned: 1. This person is right; we are an emerging startup. At Simple Habit, we work hard and we're passionate, and we like that those qualities fuel our company's growth. We've grown more than 5x in the past year and I attribute this to our team's hard work. 2. We have a beautiful meditation space in the office where we encourage employees to take mindful breaks. We're constantly taking coffee or boba breaks as a team too! And beyond the office hours, I want our employees to disconnect and enjoy real time off. I believe every employee should prioritize his or her mental and physical well-being. I acknowledge it can be difficult when the company is growing fast and there is a lot of work to do. Moving forward, this is something I can consistently remind the team of through communication but also in demonstration. 3. I'm sorry that our collaboration felt challenging. Through our coaching off-sites, one-on-one check-ins, and team events, I'm working hard to connect with employees to better understand each individual's preferred communication and work styles. I'm thankful that you took the time to share your opinion here so that I can reflect and find ways to ensure each person on this team feels appreciated and supported.

Pros

- Incredibly smart team. Thoughtful, solutions-oriented people who love to collaborate and work together to build bright ideas. Kind, friendly faces make it super happy place to be day-to-day. - Lasting impact - You can see how your work directly contributes to the product, and how that product is positively impacting lives all over the world. Can totally make your day receiving an email or comment from a Simple Habit user. - Freedom to grow - Our CEO empowers us to cultivate our dream careers, she pushes us to think sharper, gives us the opportunity to try new things and make mistakes, and encourages us to continuously grow.

Cons

The nature of a small team and startup requires individuals to move quickly, wear a lot of hats, and stay organized. Clear direction will sometimes have to be distilled by you, not senior management, and with that, is an opportunity to shape the product and company.

A rocketship with positive social impact

Pros

- Growth opportunity - Great past growth trajectory and backing from top notch VCs as social proof of excitement around the opportunity. - Positive social impact - It is extremely rewarding to work for a company that has the ability to help so many people in a deeply personal and impactful way. - Down to earth and collaborative culture - Everyone is humble, helpful and very friendly.

Cons

- As with any new company there is still a lot of white space around processes and workflows that are not fully optimized. Anyone who joins will need to take initiative and be comfortable with a certain level of ambiguity in order to succeed.
