Pros

If you're looking for a place where you can make a real impact, this is it. The culture here is definitely "work hard," “push more,” and it's not for everyone. If you're driven, love to roll up your sleeves, and thrive on being able to make a difference, you'll find it very rewarding. The teams here are lean, which means you'll have the chance to be involved in a variety of projects. You'll be able to develop a broad set of skills and knowledge rather than feeling like a small cog in a big machine. This environment allows you to grow professionally. One of the best things about working here is the people. There are no "brilliant jerks"—just smart, hardworking, and supportive colleagues who care. It's a place where people genuinely like each other and support one another. The camaraderie is real, and it makes a big difference in day-to-day work life. There is flexibility in terms of work arrangements, but it comes after you've built trust and demonstrated your ability to deliver. That said, the company does have a 5-day in-office policy which doesn’t suit everyone. What I really appreciate about this company is its focus on sustainable growth. In a time when many startups and tech companies are facing constant change and instability, it's refreshing to be part of an organization that prioritizes steady, thoughtful growth. On the flipside, this does then make it hard to push for initiatives, new tools and resources. However, I do believe that Merge is on the right track to achieve great things one day down the line. Overall, if you're looking for a dynamic environment where you can make a significant impact, work with great people, and grow your skill set, this could be a great fit for you. However, be prepared for a culture that expects a lot and isn't shy about working hard.

Cons

- Stricter in-office policy than most other companies, though the Recruiting team is very transparent with this during the process. - Teams are on the leaner side, and the culture is "work hard," “push more,” so it's not for everyone (and that's okay!) - The focus on spend does make it harder to push for initiatives, new tools and resources.

Pros

To be honest I've been very confused about recent negative reviews about Merge's culture. I've been at Merge for ~2 years, and only have wonderful things to say about the culture. Sure, expectations are high, but everyone is extremely kind, intelligent, and driven. For the most part employees love working here and with each other - we often attend non-work events together (picnics, dinners, parties, festivals, etc.) and even go on international trips with each other (just last month a group spent their PTO together in Colombia, and a large group of Mergies also went to Honduras for another Mergie's wedding last year!). Out of the first 10 employees, 7 are still with Merge (over 3 years later!), which is incredible tenure for an early-stage start-up. I believe this is a testament to both the culture and the awesome opportunities Merge creates for its high-performing employees Note that one of the recent reviews also states that the C-suite brings up negative glassdoor reviews to the company as a scare tactic - I can categorically say that this is untrue. I have never heard the C-suite mention this during my time at Merge.

Cons

It's a growth stage start-up so can sometimes feel a little chaotic, but if you've worked at other early-stage start-ups you know that that's normal and necessary to move fast enough to succeed. I don't find this to be a con, but expectations are high - this is a performance-driven culture, which is not for everyone. If you're excited about the prospect of challenging and improving yourself amongst a group of fun, smart and driven individuals then this is a wonderful place to work and learn! If you tend to care less about your work or are looking to coast, then I would look elsewhere.
