Pros
- Experienced Leadership. Cannot stress this point enough. even though Beacon is a startup there's a sense of "We've been here before, we know what we're doing". Founders have previous successful exits. Processes and plans are built to scale for the long-term. There's significant mentorship, and never a "go figure it out on your own" attitude.
- Friendly, transparent culture. Majority of new employees have stated in one way or another "You talked about having a positive culture, but I'm still surprised by how open and friendly people are here".
- Remote first approach that embraces modern work flows.
- Coaching culture. Senior leadership carves out necessary time to make sure everybody feels empowered to do their job and learn.
- Many growth opportunities. We're growing organically, but quickly.
Cons
These are less so cons, and more just facts:
- We're building the plane as we fly it. There is a fair amount of unknown territory that needs to be navigated on a daily basis.
- We're in a services business, which means significant amount of time interacting with candidates, clients, etc.
- Business processes are quantitatively measured, or moving towards being quantitatively measured. Not a great place for people who don't enjoy following or operating within clearly defined processes and systems. As the business matures, this will only become more common.
