Pros
Don is a phenomenal culture and tech leader. Arc has the most transparent and progressive culture I've ever been a part of! Not only are all of the leveling guides and the promotional reviews process public to all employees, so too are the comp bands so you know exactly at what percentile you are being compensated! The organization is extremely focused and organized, we move FAST but there's nothing standing in the way of getting sh*t done, which is awesome. People are smart, humble, hard working and thoughtful; and our investors are super engaged and incredibly helpful across the board with just about everything! It's exciting coming to work every day and feeling inspired by teammates and the leadership. Best of all, the leadership actually makes you feel heard and takes your feedback to heart! Feedback is an integral part of our culture. Feedback helps build trust. It’s how our peers know how we truly feel, so they’re not guessing or fearing the worst. It also builds transparency—by letting them know where they’re at and how they’re performing. At Arc, feedback, like transparency, is core to our identity, it always has been and always will be. If you’re curious, action-oriented and passionate about eliminating bias from venture capital/debt, apply. We'd love for you to come aboard.
Cons
- Things move and happen fast, meaning you learn a-ton! => If you prefer sitting in meetings all day or acting like a know-it-all, this might not be the right fit for you. - Like any startup, people wear multiple hats. =>If you like operating in a silo this might not be the right fit for you. - We take action to eliminate barriers and roadblocks. => If you prefer to ignore problems and pretend they don't exist, this might not be the right fit for you. - We do not tolerate bureaucracy. => If you like red-tape or playing "the game", this might not be the right fit for you. - We're changing the world of capital raising. =>If you don't care about leveling the playing field and eliminating bias from venture capital/debt to give everyone the same shot at bat, this might not be the right fit for you.
