Pros
DNSFilter is not comfortable with the status quo. It's nice to be at a company where we simultaneously push ourselves to do more every single day but also check in and make sure things are realistic. I feel comfortable speaking up if I think my workload is too much--which is something that I haven't always felt at previous companies. There is no boredom here. Every day is different. We celebrate each team's success. When things don't go our way, we examine it. The constant evolution of this team since I started and the goals that we have are setting us up for more success down the road. I've grown a lot in this role already. I'm not micromanaged. I have autonomy and my voice is heard when I have an idea. And that's a really great feeling. You're also not boxed into growing towards a manager role. There are lots of team members who have expanded their skillset and found themselves in new positions while still being individual contributors.
Cons
This is STILL a growing company, which means things can change pretty rapidly as focus shifts. Sometimes you might find yourself doing tasks that you don't love or not quite in your purview, but since we're still growing those gaps need to be filled. Communication could sometimes be better across teams, but I know that's something everyone is working on. We're still working on cementing our culture, which is hard since we're a 100% remote company.
