Pros
+ The best organized startup I've ever worked at + Culture is heavily invested in distributing authority, learning experiences, and information + Data driven decision making. There's an astonishing lack of politics at work in what gets done. + Openness and transparency: information like salaries, monthly earnings, and daily to-dos are publicly available for everyone in the company + Seasoned leadership that mentors their team + Diverse company: more than 30% women, 9 different countries of origin for employees, and ages from 24 - 54 all working here + Hard working like any startup, but no crazy 80 hour a week death marches + Everyone's easy to get along with + Surprisingly great benefits for a startup; health insurance, wellness spending accounts, training, company-provided computers, etc. + Dat startup vibe. + Huge market potential for growth + Open communication at all levels of the company
Cons
- Not a company where everyone hangs out after work every week. If you want your work buddies to be your best friends, you're probably not gonna find that here. If you've got a home life or hobby outside of work, you'll fit right in. ;) - Small company brings risks & responsibilities. If you're looking to coast along at work and just put in your 40 hours and go home with no stress, this may not be for you. If you wanna make a big difference and dedicate yourself to improving your craft, this is totally your jam. - Things change. It's a startup. While the leadership team is seasoned and things aren't a madhouse, fast hiring, a dedication to data-based decision making, and a preference for doing instead of talking means that projects can change hands, team members can be moved around, and initiatives can be updated or canceled based on KPIs. Flexible thinkers are needed.
