I'm interviewing for the role at Goodrx. I Can you please provide an candid option on the work culture, growth prospect, leadership and work life balance at at Goodrx?
Only a year onboard, but the experience has been stellar so far. It's hard to answer such broad questions, as we all weigh indicators differently. If you have more specific questions or can be more specific about team and role, I can try to be more helpful.
Stellar? What team are you on, if you don't mind me asking?
How’s your experience been LS?
Joined early a year before IPO but hit burnout. Unlimited PTO is a myth. For the sake of growth and being able to make sure I could make substantial contributions to the team, I busted my ass but nobody really cared to take note, even during performance reviews after I laid out all the facts and made sure I had a paper trail / tickets to back up my hustle. I intended on staying for longer than four years, viewed it as a job that would allow me to climb multiple stepping stones, but left after a year and a half. No money was worth the working conditions and lack of time off. I’m saying that as someone whose options were 50,000 at $6 strike. Basically guaranteed millionaire, about 2.5 million when the stock was at its peak. After all of the work I put into gdrx, I really fucking wished it worked out. Stay for at least a year and get your 25% and then stay for as long as it makes sense. You’ll definitely learn enough to further your career and do good work in that time, but know that you’re definitely going to work for it. Happy to answer more via DM
Sorry to hear about your experience. I can't speak to the year leading up to IPO, but this is all very different from my experience so far. I have been approved for all PTO, generally on a few days notice, and I wasn't even aware PIPs were a thing here until reading this.
I joined a few years before dYcb41 and more or less share the same experience. Only reason I'm still around is because some personal stuff is preventing me from changing jobs at the moment. This divide in experience between post-IPO and pre-IPO people is both baffling and fascinating. If you look on Glassdoor, you can tell how long they've been around: a year or less, the review is sunshine and daisies. More than two years, not so. Seems to be the same thing here. Not knowing that PIPs are a thing is one example of that divide. Maybe they're no longer a thing and they just fire you? That would explain a few recent disappearances.
Stellar company, I work in Business Intelligence and have little to no complains. Engineering might be a different world, but everyone I work with on marketing and analtyics all seem really happy with their jobs
Which role? All of that depends.
