Stay away!

Pros

There are some really wonderful and passionate people in the T&S department.

Cons

Pay is way below market, teams are siloed, management is in chaos, HR is unwilling to challenge upper management. Trust & Safety has no input anywhere in the company. It's a completely toxic work environment and they try to address it by giving people access to mindfulness apps. There are serious issues with structural racism. There's no upward career path for anyone in Trust & Safety. Stay away! It's not worth it!

Approach with extreme caution

Pros

It's work in the tech industry and a good resume builder due to brand recognition.

Cons

I found OkCupid to be an exceptionally toxic work environment with unfair labor practices that hovered just above what was permissible by law. Corporate organization seemed sloppy, and development of their product poorly managed. The company appeared more dedicated to the bottom line than to developing a good relationship with its workers--but ironically, had little to no oversight making sure that their money was being put to good use.

Unfocused and unsafe

Pros

The bonds you create with other employees that you actually trust is the only pro working here, but these bonds stem from the trauma you've all experienced, not necessarily from something positive that's brought you together as a team.

Cons

The leadership team and CEO have no idea what they're doing. They've been hired to parrot whatever Tinder does, but they somehow make each copy-cat feature less enjoyable. The app feels cheap and empty. The once quirky and charming dating app is a shell of its former self. Actionable items that will actually make the product better and safer are thrown to the curb for features that are designed to make a profit at the expense of actual value, safety, and innovation. I no longer feel comfortable recommending OkCupid to anyone I care about in my life due to the neglect of everything important that keeps members safe and happy.
