Sad state of affairs
|
|
Great company to get experience in terms of startups and ecommerce
Beautiful offices by the beach
|
Although I am an employee, I feel compelled based on what our current leader and management are doing with these reviews. I feel as though it has been unethical to tell employees to make fake positive reviews to boost the company review of StackSocial and StackCommerce.

Build a great company through leadership, vision, and culture. That way, you'll be able to avoid the negative reviews that have plagued this company for the past 5 years. There is a reason why we're a laughing stock among tech in Los Angeles, unable to raise a Series A, only focus on top line even though we pay most of it out.
Treat your employees with respect and make this company something great.

Not really a tech company as much as a boiler room
|
|
The people are great, everyone is smart and driven. The location is hip and the office nice, however the neighborhood as a whole is so-so, depending on your take on Venice culture as a whole.
Super stocked fridge, kegerator, and the HR/Office staff really do strive to make a great, welcoming space. There were some fun events too, and hosted some good meetups. Props to them.
The place is just filled with talented, laid back people that I enjoyed being around and collaborating with on a regular basis. Everyone knows everyone and what they do.
When I was there, the dev team was great and keyed in, super productive for how bad the codebase was.
|
I worked at Stack for over a year, and the biggest issue is the lack of a Technical Co-Founder (Or balance).
At minimum, there should be a founder that understands development and developer culture. I and many other developers don't feel their contributions are valued in any way other than a tick mark on a feature sheet.
Because of this lack of knowledge and respect, the dev team is a turnstile of both contract and permanent developers. They brand themselves as a Technology company, when the tech is more of a means to an end of augmenting a mediocre platform, than a core business value.
The CEO is very in the weeds, commonly fancying himself a designer, a dev, a marketer, instead of living at 30,000 feet and promoting vision and delegating to people who are much more savvy in those areas.
How do you resolve a problem when the problem is the one and only founder? It's an Emperors New Clothes situation
The benefits look good on paper, but when you try to leverage them, you get guilt tripped for it or you have to really fight to get them.
You're expected to work a ton for less than market rates, and I honestly feel the "unlimited vacation" is really just a way to not pay out PTO when someone leaves.

The Los Angeles development scene is very small, and developers are connected and they often speak openly to other developers about their experiences at companies.
It's going to become harder and harder to recruit quality people.
Learn how good developers operate and let them do what they do best.

Beautilful office and good for new grads; Obsolete business model and an uninspiring CEO
|
|
- Beautiful beachfront location puts you in the thick of it all while being tucked just enough away to focus
- Good for those starting out in their career (but know when to move on)
- Kitchen always stocked
- Great HR staff and sociable and intelligent employees who have fun with what they do despite management
|
- Stereotypical CEO with a business degree, a few CS classes, and no understanding of the mental and social maturity it takes to be in that position as a leader who should inspire
- Project managers have their hands tied as seniority is akin to a helicopter parent with little trust given to their employees to make things happen and often stifle momentum and induce needless frustration
- The business model only works best by taking advantage of an uninformed consumer, and if you aren't ok with that, you are not welcome
- Terrible/nonexistent security protocols paired with an unwillingness to address it
- Toxic environment that caters to a fraternity mindset and heavily discourages a hacker attitude towards problems
-The engineering managers (which left the company long after I left) fostered an environment that was toxic both to women and those who didn't agree with their mindset. They made it uncomfortable for those who saw this play out on a daily basis as well as new employees who caught on quickly but were too worried to say anything. Sadly, this and other things remained a pink elephant and nothing was done to address it despite complaints and employee exits.
- It no longer feels like a startup, but rather, a maintenance job solely to keep the existing business model afloat indefinitely with bandaids, support, and updated content

Take some notes from Ed Catmull's Creativity Inc. and learn how to manage your company by earning the respect of others, not demanding it. As another reviewer has pointed out, the CEO is the sole C-level employee that he himself wishes to keep out and I just don't see the business growing unless this is addressed.

Crisis of leadership + untenable business model = great place for amateurs
|
|
If you just graduated or have little experience, Stack is great: fun location, decent office (no Snapchat or Google mind you), and a pretty laid back vibe, even if you're grinding on the most mundane stuff every day.
|
Once you've learned what you can (assuming you have little experience), there's nowhere to go. Anyone seasoned should be looking elsewhere. Things like unlimited PTO and flexible hours are promoted, but in reality you're expected to be around until 7pm most nights, so if you have a family you definitely don't want to be there. The worst part is the business model is terrible and has no legs—they almost exclusively sell B- and C-rated gear from China, resell generally poor courses from Udemy, and seldom have any deals you'd actually want to be buying yourself. They pray on naive consumers, leveraging the publishing brands they've partnered with to accomplish this.

Fire the (one) C-level guy, except he's the founder and majority shareholder, so you can't. [General Tip: stay away from single-founder entities.] Hire more seasoned execs and management...if you can somehow lure them to Stack.
