Pros
- Transparency. Echoing what others have written, Grant Street Group is transparent and forthcoming about decisions and why they're made. Questions are genuinely and frankly responded to, without reprisal. - Dedicated colleagues. You know those people you work with, the ones where you ask yourself every day "How does this person keep their job?" I have never encountered someone like that at Grant Street Group. Without exception, my colleagues are responsive, dedicated, and hard-working. They are also just genuinely nice and fun to be around. - Flexibility and work/life balance. I have never felt pressured to work more than 40 hours a week. I have worked more than 40 hours a week, but I will comp that time some other week. - Communication and feedback. If there's a problem, I know who to talk to and I know that I will be listened to. I am given constructive feedback regularly and feel comfortable giving feedback regularly, regardless of the "seniority" of the person I'm giving feedback to.
Cons
- Fast pace. For some, a high-intensity workplace is ideal, for others, it is not. This is not an organization where you can clock in and watch YouTube videos for a few hours. I personally find this environment exciting and challenging, and that's what I want out of a career, but others may have different priorities and might find this type of environment is not a good fit. - Constant change. Inter-organizational movement is common and rapid. Sometimes this is great, since it gives people a chance to move to a different area where they might be a better fit. Sometimes this is problematic, since employees have to "re-learn" a new subject matter which can slow down projects.
