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.

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.

Pros

Weekly all hands meeting is great to keep up to date with what is happening outside of your department. Exciting millennial environment in verticals that are fun to work in (food, travel, home design). Small enough so you can still carve your own opportunities. Flat structure.

Cons

Fast pace of growth means HR &People Ops needs investing in to keep up.

Thanks for your feedback and for your contributions to Tastemade. We recognize that while a quickly growing, fast-paced startup is exciting, it's not for everyone, and the company should focus on better setting expectations at the outset. We wish you the best of luck.
