Pros

*great work life balance - I have the flexibility and option in my schedule to work remote or in the office. Sometimes things just pops up unexpectedly and I was able to take time off for it. *The PEOPLE - employees are super friendly and welcoming. They are always willing to assist and answer any questions I have. Teammates are always checking in to see if there's anything they can assist on my plate. If I am on PTO, I know I can enjoy my vacation without thinking about work as I know I have teammates who can support and cover. *learning environment - Everyday I am still learning different skills and doing different projects. I even get to partner with other employees outside of my team, which is a great learning experience from my previous job. *Company Party - two company parties a year to bond and connect with employees from all different teams including lunches, team competitions, and volunteering! *Office - 360 view of Boston from every corner in the office. Kitchen is filled with snacks! The fridges are always full of a variety of drinks such as cold brews, juices, soda, kombuchas, milk..etc. (Do you know how much I saved without buying coffee?!)

Cons

*Not enough peanut butter pretzels and Reese's in the office! Every time I go to our chocolate bowl, the Reese's are gone...

Pros

Top-Tier Compensation & Resources: The company pays very well and genuinely invests in its employees by providing excellent resources to help us succeed. Incredible Culture & Team: My coworkers and team members are amazing, hardworking, and deeply dedicated. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and we do truly meaningful work together every day. Fantastic Remote Environment: The remote work setup is seamless and highly effective, making it a wonderful place to work from anywhere. Rewarding Leadership: As a manager, it is incredibly fulfilling to support my team, solve problems for our customers, and cross the finish line on major tasks. I feel genuinely lucky to be a part of this organization.

Cons

Learning Curve & Operational Complexity: The environment is very fast-paced, and the product itself is highly complex. It takes a significant amount of time to learn the ins and outs, which naturally makes managing the operations space a bit challenging. Heavy Manual Workload: There are a lot of manual reviews required, which can lead to an increased workload for managers. Growing Pains: Right now, there is a lot of reliance on "tribal knowledge" and navigating gray areas. As the company continues to expand, leadership will need to prioritize building more standardized, scalable processes to ease the operational burden.
