Pros

I have full confidence that Column’s flagship public notice platform will soon be the market leader in its space. I’m also sure, given the company’s ambitions and track-record, that over time Column will roll out a suite of successful technology products that go upstream into the workflows of its customers in journalism, government and legal services. Column’s success so far, and my confidence in the company going forward, is a testament to the daily hard work and savvy of everyone working there, from the C-level leadership to the directors and section leads, to the ICs.

Cons

As with all fast-scaling technology companies, some technical growing pains. Have full confidence in the engineering team to confront and resolve!

Pros

Challenging work with an extremely supportive culture that walks the walk in terms of transparency and individual professional development.

Cons

It’s a lot of responsibility and you have to be able to operate within some grey areas. There’s extensive documentation via Notion on almost every aspect of the company (now we’re paid and who is paid what, team directory, financials, etc). Right out of the gate you need to be ready to learn and also try and provide value in a way that’s collaborative but also decisive.
