Pros

- Small team of people who all feel more like friends than colleagues. Everyone gets along great and we have an atmosphere where you can be yourself and have fun. - Meaningful work where you feel like you are part of something that can make a real impact in peoples lives. - I am excited to go to work each day. My role is constantly changing in good ways as we grow and the projects I work on are many and varied. - 10% in the wild time policy is truly amazing. When I do get stressed or feel overwhelmed being able to leave for an hour or two and recharge in the great outdoors does wonders. - The future for Cotopaxi is very bright and I think we will make a great impact on the world and be very successful.

Cons

- Being part of a small team that is trying to keep the headcount low can sometimes feel overwhelming. I miss the larger teams I have worked with where you can share the load and responsibility. Although it is also great to have so much responsibility and control over your own work.

Pros

Wonderful people, great atmosphere, 10% in-the-wild time, great benefits, and a mission that really matters.

Cons

Because Cotopaxi is a startup, there are long hours, but the rewards are fantastic.

Pros

I can sincerely say that I have found a job I LOVE. I get out of bed, and I'm literally thrilled that I get to go to work at Cotopaxi. It almost annoys people how much I love my job (probably because they thought they loved their job, but then the see how much I love Cotopaxi and it dwarfs all!!) The culture is amazing, and every day is different (which is saying something, because I work customer service!) I don't know how I got so lucky as to land a job here, but I'm counting my lucky stars (and llamas) because it's the best place for someone who loves the outdoors, humanitarian work, and data-driven innovation. I mean, we went backpacking for 4 days with llamas... for work. Who does that? Cotopaxi does that.

Cons

It's a start-up; many hats to be worn, hours to be worked. But the start-up life is AWESOME!
