Amazing place to work!

Pros

• Lots of support for career development and growth • Smart, collaborative, supportive colleagues • Leadership is thoughtful, transparent, and frequently gathers input from everyone in the company • Great support for remote employees. Being remote myself, I feel highly connected to my colleagues. (Quarterly team and company retreats help with this.) • Strong focus on employee happiness and well-being.

Cons

As a startup, many systems and processes have not been ironed out yet. This is great for people who like to contribute to designing processes but those who prefer a highly structured environment may not thrive.

Pros

Dynamic, purpose-driven company with very smart, compassionate people. Their mission is to help people pursue their life with clarity, purpose, and passion. The company actually practices what they preach. They provide unlimited vacation, ample holidays plus one "inner work day" per quarter. There's a book club, a mediation club, and an appetite for playfulness and an openness to ideas and feedback. The leadership team is thoughtful and communicative.

Cons

It's a start-up, so it requires some agility. They are still establishing some policies etc. but are very receptive to input from staff.

Pros

High achieving (but friendly, collaborative) environment, great for driven professionals looking to uplevel their skills and career, flexible work schedule allows me to prioritize school pick ups and personal life, company wide summer and winter breaks every year plus "inner work" days off and volunteer days, career opportunities for advancement (at least in my dept.), You'll work with some of the most capable, driven, kind individuals. I've been here for 3+ years and have no intention to leave, I like the work I do and the team I work with.

Cons

High achieving, high performance culture isn't for everyone (clearly). If you're looking to coast, this is not the place for you. There are pockets in the org with bad managers or poor leaders, and I agree they should be weeded out ASAP because they're clearly bringing down the majority of the org which is filled with decent people who want to do the right thing and do good work. I wish they had a 401k match.
