A company where your skills and what you care about are equally important
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Company has a tight knit feel. During onboarding HR, dept head (c-level), and direct manager all checked in on me as well as colleagues from other teams. Openness to sharing opinions and ideas with leadership and influencing decisions. Culture really does reflect a wellness company's as shown by the interests of the employees, perks, and work life balance. I do not feel micromanaged at all.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
No clear personal development budget for upskilling, performance evaluation is still being figured out and with that clear paths for growth within your team/role. Salary was slightly beneath my expectations but is tolerable.

Interview structure was much more reasonable than many other companies I spoke with (fair amount of interviews, evaluating skills and interest in the company, behavioral questions, meet the team, etc), however, being asked questions such as "Why us?" and then answering that being asked as a follow up "but why specifically did you want to work for a company in the wellness space focused on supplements?" felt pretty intense. I appreciate companies which are invested in their employees' buy in to the vision and mission, but it is perhaps worth reconsidering to assume that all of the applicants are going to be deeply connected to vitamins and supplements (although I am, I don't feel this has much bearing on my ability to do my job well or care about my company). You may lose really great candidates who want to work in wellness but don't use your products the same way your customers do.
Kommunikation
Company level performance numbers like revenue or margins are not openly shared, only lower level metrics like instagram followers acquired, AOV, and top products make it to our all hands meetings. It is certainly unusual.
