Pros
Kind, smart coworkers and extremely collaborative work environment.
I love that our product team wants to get in front of customers to learn about their wants and needs, and our candidate and customer teams collaborate often to improve candidate and customer experiences.
Leadership that cares - while 2020 was challenging and we had to tighten our belts, the weekly and biweekly all hands kept us in the loop and connected. I felt more secure knowing that our leadership team was being overly cautious and was one of the first tech companies to mandate work from home back in March. I know they will take all of our concerns into consideration as we approach a day when we will potentially return to the office.
I'm glad to see we've restarted hiring and filling roles, brought back perks such as the very generous education reimbursement, merit increases, etc. The xmas bonus that was given to all employees truly showed that the company cares about ALL employees no matter what level or role.
Feels very autonomous, but supported by leadership. There is a ton of room for career growth as the new business opportunity is large, existing business is doing well as we innovate, and with that growth will come a need for larger, segmented teams (i.e. promo and leadership opportunities across all roles in the company)
2020 was extremely busy and challenging, but we stuck together, worked hard, and ended up having a great year where we helped thousands of people get hired quickly through our customers. We also did well as a business, which we should all be very proud of as each of us in every role contributed to the results!
Cons
While I understand the need to focus on efficiency and cost savings, we are running very lean on some teams. I'm hoping this year brings more budget for resourcing so those teams feel supported and can support the rest of the business.
Products are launching and changing every day. We need more ongoing enablement across the board to keep up with the changes and help us onboard new hires in a remote environment.
