Pros

This is hands-down the best job I've ever had. I love "going" to work every day (i.e. opening up my Slack/Zoom to chat with my coworkers, as we all work remotely). I travel very often, and they actively encourage my worldwide adventures here! I can work from wherever as long as I have stable internet connection and make our meetings. We have an absolutely amazing team that is super smart, works hard, but also knows how to laugh and have fun. The culture is super positive and compassionate - we all support each other. I want to give a special shout-out to the management culture of this company, which is unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere. Lots of companies claim to care about your well being, but never have I felt so valued as I do here. As a young new grad, I am surprised and grateful for how often my opinions and advice are validated by more senior-level employees, including the CEO. I get amazing support and encouragement from everyone, but especially from my manager. They give me time to learn from my managers in a more casual conversation during weekly one-on-one sessions where we also tackle life goals, career goals, and personal growth, beyond any career objectives. Also, they REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU! If I ever feel sick or even just off on a given day (life gets in the way sometimes) and I can't do my work efficiently, I am encouraged to take time off to relax and recharge. There's no passive-aggression about taking it as I've experienced elsewhere. Our management always announces their vacation time off and actively encourages other employees to do the same in order to normalize this for everyone. Time off for your mental health and well-being is actively promoted. Lastly, the level transparency here is really something to be lauded. Conversations incredibly open, and management periodically encourages discussion and constructive criticism about how we can improve the company. Everyone feels very comfortable giving suggestions either in our daily company-wide meetings, or anonymously via forms, making this discussion effective in reality, and not just on paper.

Cons

The only thing I can think of is a lack of 401k matching, but I'm sure this will be added on later as the company grows.

Pros

Smart and Talented Team: Over the past two years, the company has brought in some incredibly smart folks who truly understand the challenges and dynamics of startup work life. This has significantly improved the quality of work, speed, and collaboration. Commitment to Improvement: Despite the tough decisions and layoffs that many companies (especially in HRTech) are experiencing right now, there is a clear focus on improvement, sustainabiity, and steering the company in the right direction. Flexibility and Innovation: The company encourages innovation and flexibility in work, which can be very rewarding for those who are creative and proactive.

Cons

Cultural Challenges: They are slowly figuring out the best ways to create a culture that is as transparent and warm as they aspire to. There's room for improvement in fostering a more open environment. Communication Gaps: Communication from leadership could be more transparent at times, especially during periods of strategic change. Past Layoffs: The layoffs over the past two years have been tough on everyone and created some uncertainty. But it seems as though the company is stabilizing and moving in a positive direction.
