Ventajas
The writers and designers are some of the most talented people I have ever worked with. You learn a lot about mental health, neuroscience, and psychology. The work we do here does positively impact the health and wellness of the app users.
Desventajas
They expect you to have no work-life balance. Literally. The contract doesn't say it (plus, it's written in extremely ambiguous language) but when you hop on calls with one of the founders, they straight-up tell you "We need you to be here for us 24/7." The expectation is between 60-80 hours a week. The pay doesn't reflect how much they demand of employees. The founders lack all the self-awareness in the world and simply refuse to change even though employees are constantly telling them ways to improve. Writers are also expected to act as designers, web developers, and proofreaders. They preach "mental health first" but expect you to be there for them during the wee hours of the night and on weekends. No federal holidays off. (Yep, we work on Christmas, and New Year's, too.) Only 10 days PTO. They play favorites. Literally no benefits. The founders are extremely rude, condescending, and ruthless when they give "feedback." They complain about work quality, but give no pointers on how to improve whatsoever. They also DEMAND that writers use ChatGPT to expedite the work (23-30 articles per week) and then act SHOCKED when the quality is beyond unacceptable. Oh, and there's no HR department.
