Pros

* growing Company with much more room to expand * everyone works hard and constantly building ways to improve * the team makes time to socially engage online given the remote work necessities * diverse group of people, interests (especially dogs), and locales * flexible company policies for personal and professional reasons * fair compensation * ability to work on projects that interest you * ongoing drive of the leadership to be transparent with the team

Cons

* can get distracted if you don't hold yourself accountable * is a sink or swim type start so requires a self-starter attitude (no hand holding here) * remote work can be challenging so it requires honest open communication of what support you need from your team * have to be more decisive about your own self growth and what you want to learn

Pros

Even though HigherMe is becoming more established and moving further from the “startup” phase, the environment still feels that way with the constant improvemnts through trial and error, growing teams, passion, sharing of ideas, excitement, etc. I found that any idea I had was heard and I was able to implement many initiatives with help from my managers. I was given feedback regularly which helped me grow into the position. I could immediately tell that my coworkers belived in the mission of the company and that motivated me to be the best I could. I learned a lot from this position and from the HigherMe team.

Cons

I worked remotely which was often lonely. I find I am most productive and creative when around people with the same goals and passions. Although this is the case, there was constant communication online which helped!
