Pros

- Great vision and mission... everything is wrapped around the idea of building high-performance governments - Really talented people to work alongside - Intelligent, thoughtful, and down-to-earth leadership that I actually like and respect - Company is consistently growing and is in a competitive space in the national market - I actually feel like I'm a part of something bigger that is making the world a better place - Flexible working hours and locations - Great benefits - Relative to Dubuque, it's a really fun and progressive work culture - There's occassionally a few late nights, but for the most part, I have no issue having a life outside of work - I feel like I've been given the tools to succeed (was given a nice laptop when I started and will probably get a new one in the next year or two)

Cons

- Challenging atmosphere... I'm pretty much always busy and occasionally start getting a little burnt out - Long sales cycles - Dubuque is a great city to live in, but we're located a few miles out of the city, so it's not very quick to get to good lunch places or other businesses. But at least parking isn't an issue! - Our CEO, Jake, resigned recently, which sucks because he was a great guy and a solid leader

Pros

Work you can be proud of- Helping local governments increase productivity and work more effectively and efficiently feels GOOD. Not only is it great to be in a business that helps improves the lives of others, but it's fun! The work is rewarding and far from boring. I am always excited to engage and collaborate with my coworkers. People you enjoy being around- Everyone works together no matter their age, job title, department, years of experience, etc. The employees at Cartegraph are genuinely happy, nice, friendly people. I never walk by someone without receiving a smile or a "Hi, how are you?". Transparency- Whether it’s a product update, new hire joining the team, or an employee’s birthday, everyone at CG knows about it- and that’s a good thing! Having an open and effective communication channel allows everyone within the organization to feel included and valued. Continuous feedback- Receiving advice and recognition from fellow team members and managers/leaders rocks. Not only does getting acknowledged feel good and instill confidence, but it shows that people TRULY care about your efforts. Foosball, snacks, and an unlimited supply of coffee.

Cons

Lack of diversity within leadership roles- Most of the executive team is white, middle-aged men. This makes it difficult for women, people of color, and other minorities to feel valued. When a leadership team lacks diversity, others don’t feel comfortable or confident enough to speak up and voice their opinions or concerns.
