Pros
- Team: even at the interview stage, it was clear everyone I interacted with were super candid, caring, and always eager to help others succeed. I was a bit wary about joining a fully remote team, but I feel super connected to my coworkers even moreso than in-person teams I've previously been a part of. - Transparency: company leadership is super open and transparent about the company direction and very available to answer questions or provide suggestions to. Having that transparency makes me feel more motivated knowing I'm working on the most impactful things. - WLB: far better than previous teams I've been on, even though I'm on a different timezone than most of my direct coworkers. - Interesting work/tech: while martech probably wasn't on my bucket list, there's been lots of interesting technical challenges and domain specific problems that I've found myself becoming engaged in.
Cons
Laterally we're starting to run into some growing pains, but overall these are hugely outweighed by the pros and there's ongoing investment in addressing these pains.
