Pros

Diverse team makes for fun to work with, brings lot of variety of perspectives & truly cross functional work experience Execution is fast & swift. Product managers are very accommodating and realistic. The leadership is superb, and always work on feedback

Cons

Possible trouble with cross-cultural communication, something that everyone tries best to be patient with, but there's a lot of exposure to miscommunication

Pros

We're working on something huge at Altruist. It's a great feeling knowing that the work you do can directly impact the lives of millions of people in a positive (and serious) way. In addition to feeling like the work you do is of value, you're surrounded by brilliant people to learn from and grow with. It's a humble, kind, down-to-earth team that's a joy to work with. Your peers appreciate the work you do and you're recognized for your accomplishments. Jason is the dopest CEO around. He's been an amazing mentor and friend. The cherry on top is that amazing office and location. It's truly a joy to come into work each day (if you love your craft and want to do work that matters).

Cons

It's a startup so there are growing pains in finding the best ways to collaborate and get things done efficiently. But the team is patient and moves forward quickly, recognizing problem areas and fixing them. You also won't find the same amenities at a large corporation, but for an early-stage startup, the comp package and perks are impressive.

Pros

Everyone is extremely bright, hard working and very humble. No egos whatsoever. Management cares about the team and wants everyone to be successful. Working on a meaningful product that will improve the financial livelihood of millions of investors make showing up to work every day extremely rewarding. Add to that a killer location on Abbot Kinney, great snacks and super fun work environment and it's a tough place to beat.

Cons

Still early days, so hoping we can keep up this great culture as we grow and scale. Confident we have the right team in place to make that happen, but don't want to take it for granted.
