Pros

The role can be fully remote depending on job specs and overall the staff are really pleasant to work with.

Cons

-Senior leadership lacks internal communication which makes it hard for everyone to be on the same page. Internal politics is killing the culture and has unfortunately pushed good people out of the company. There seems to be a work package and process in place to get the smallest of tasks to get approved, which is frustrating and delays tasks that need to be completed. -There seems to be an external facade on culture being amazing but the reality of working remote can be lonely and does not help individual development. Senior leadership should set example by trying to get teams together but do not. -No clear CRM or account management in place making the role of a BDM or SDR's role extremely difficult to manage. Each director has their own way of generating business and most of the time do not record actions or share with wider group with new opportunities. -Directors are not held accountable for account management or generating business. Most are too comfortable with high salaries and expect inbound business to keep the company growing.

Pros

I had a positive interview experience with Laminar / Shape Projects. The entire process was clear from the beginning I was told how many stages there would be, what each would focus on, and the timelines were communicated and stuck to. I was asked to put together a short presentation, which is a fair way to show how I think and approach problems, rather than just answering abstract questions. What I appreciated most was how conversational it felt. Everyone I spoke with was open, honest, and interested in making sure it was a good fit on both sides. It was more of a discussion with people who care about what they’re building. The team asked thoughtful questions, but also gave me space to ask my own. Now that I’m working here the experience has matched what I saw in the interviews. The employees I'm surrounded with are sharp, supportive, and mission-driven. Things move quickly but you’re trusted to take ownership and help shape how things evolve.

Cons

Like any fast-growing company, things are still evolving. Processes aren’t always fully defined and priorities can shift but that also means there’s plenty of room to contribute and shape how things are done.
