Pros
- The people. Hands-down, the people are awesome. Here you know that coworkers have your back, which I think is rare, especially in a hybrid company where most people work remote. Despite being remote, I have some friendships here that go beyond work. I've visited coworkers in other cities, been a guest at people's homes, celebrated birthdays, sent and received letters, get drinks in the city, there are some good people on the team that care about each other as people and generally just enjoy having a good time and a laugh with the people they work with. – You can build your own path. I've moved between different departments because I asked for new opportunities to grow and put in the work/results to do so. If you knock it out of the park in one area of the business, you can easily move to another based on where you want to develop and grow. CS > Sales, Content > CS, etc. – Autonomy. If you want control or autonomy over your time, the team provides a lot of flexibility. You're expected to be online during standard working hours, but if you are meeting or exceeding your KPI's, how you structure your time is largely up to you. – Opportunities to grow your network and learn from senior executives. The customers of this company are senior enterprise execs, CXOs, founders – all great people to know to advance your career. I've been able to build lasting relationships with these people and the exposure to them is definitely valuable.
Cons
– It's not an enterprise. You trade autonomy for the level of structure, resources, and L&D you'd get at a large company. – Largely remote. There are satellite offices with Spaces in Sydney, Sevilla, London, and the main office in NYC, but most of the team works remote. There's not an in-person community unless you are in one of those cities. I'd prefer if more of the team was local.
