Pros

Sometimes I feel like I'm the least talented engineer at the company. Flock consistently hires the most talented, inventive engineers in the industry. I give credit to an extremely well built product and a very healthy engineering culture that promotes ingenuity and flexibility over extreme hours and insane deadlines.

I can't speak for the non-engineering divisions, but compensation and work-life balance are top notch. Best in Atlanta.

I've never been able to say this about any company, but the engineering division has no dead weight in my opinion. Everyone contributes meaningful and visible work to the product and company.

I also appreciate the transparency that management provides. It's not a secret where the company stands financially and where the company is headed.

Cons

Management expects consistent growth and results. Everyone has a conspicuous, highly visible domain that they control. This is the case for better or for worse.

Company values and marketing tend to appeal to pathos more often than appealing to objectivity.

Sometimes it feels like the company culture is a competition to be the most passionate about the company culture.

Advice to Management

"Work hard, play hard" culture is toxic. Flock does an excellent job at fighting this mentality internally, but some prior reviews on Glassdoor seem to suggest that some sales/marketing executives still encourage that kind of unsustainable culture.
