Pros
These are just major reasons I like working here, since there are many more: - CEOs are focused on building culture. Core values here are very specific, not just feel-good buzz words, geared toward guiding the individual. This is one way the company shows it values the individual and realize that an organization is only as good as its people. - One of our core values is Humility, and thanks to which, people have very low ego here. From where I am, haven’t seen much office politics. - Everyone I’ve worked with is very good at what they do, friendly and open to discussing new ideas. - Upper management are very transparent about what’s happening with business. CEOs host all-hand meeting for the entire company every month and share company results. One all-hand was to go over the result of employee survey, open address raised issues, even if only one person mentioned it. - Just started peer mentorship program, a great opportunity for senior team members to help new hires get onboard faster, while improving their leadership skills. We do things based on feedback and need, not because it’s what’s “always done”. - Quarterly team rotation gives members some opportunities to work on different kinds of projects - Weekly release cycle eases some pressure for deadlines, since it’s not too bad to miss a release for most projects, so haven't experienced too much crunch time. - Events group dedicated to hosting fun events every month, e.g. game nights, hikes, happy hour
Cons
- We work with some big partner companies, so there is consistent pressure on some teams to deliver partner projects - Team allocation is generally based on project needs, so an individual may not change teams as often as they’d like - Some processes still need to be hammered out as team grows, but I'm optimistic it'll improved over time
