Pros

Great People: The company had an amazing group of individuals who made the workplace a joy to be in. Everyone is so supportive and warmhearted. You will get your questions answered immediately. Supportive Environment: I always felt supported by my colleagues and supervisors. Whenever I needed help or guidance, I knew I could count on them. Exciting Projects: The company was involved in some really cool projects that allowed employees to work with cutting-edge technologies. Good Work-Life Balance; Unlimited PTO I really enjoyed almost everything about Carpe.

Cons

There were relatively few women on the team; The relatively low pay for my role, especially when considering the high cost of living in the Santa Barbara area. However, the annual salary increase helped mitigate this concern to some extent.

Pros

-Transparent interview process: Upfront with requirements for the role and where impact is needed -Leadership Team is very approachable -Company has improved alignment from top to bottom on Strategic Goals: This isn't perfect yet, but is much improved -Carpe Data has allowed me (and others) to take on more responsibility if you want it: the team is very receptive to new ideas to improve products/processes

Cons

-Requires employees to be flexible: Company is working to scale and implementing changes to improve processes. This is dynamic and change can impact employees day-to-day work/teams -US and Portugal based: heavy meeting load from 8-10AM to maximize time zone overlap. This is difficult at times, but company is flexible to work/life balance
