Pros

The people are generally fantastic to work with day to day (with the exception of a few). There are free lunches and treats every week! Unlimited PTO (if fully taken advantage of). Healthcare plans are fairly generous.

Cons

Tastemade's upper management lacks adequate support and are often unable to manage different styles of employees. When gaps in processes and/or conflict arise there is little motivation to come up with anything aside from stopgap solutions. Teams are tasked with a substantial amount of ownership over campaigns - this often leads to a poorly skewed work/life balance. Employees are consistently paid under the fair market average for the volume of output they are required to manage.

Tastemade Response

Thank you very much for your feedback. We operate with a culture of open communication and feedback (to the point where any employee can chat with our CEO directly), and while it's no solace at this point, we would have surely welcomed your feedback. That said, in a fast-growing, dynamic startup, we can always take the time to learn how to manage better, and to that end, our management team is focused on hosting more open-forum team meetings to make sure every team member's voice is heard. Finally, we do recognize the value of our team and believe we demonstrate this value in compensation. Our People Ops team conducts regular market value comparisons for individual teams and employees, and we believe that this has consistently enabled us to retain the best and brightest talent across all our teams over the years. Thank you for your efforts at Tastemade, and we wish you the best of luck.
