Pros
Impressive team of top notch people across all areas of the business, with a seasoned leadership team steering the ship. Tackling an ambitious vision to transform the way companies produce digital products and run their design departments. Amazingly positive workplace culture. Everyone is incredibly friendly, helpful and ready to pitch in. (True story: when one employee’s house burned town, the team raised tens of thousands of dollars in a matter of hours to help the employee’s family). Remote workplace brings unparalleled flexibility. Tools like Slack and Zoom make it easy to adapt to remote-work and connect with colleagues. Until I worked for InVision, I never realized how great it is to have NO commute.
Cons
Rapid growth breeds some growing pains that are common in many startups. Communication could be better across departments, new employee on-boarding can be challenging, and information and projects are distributed across many tools. Luckily, internal initiatives are being discussed to address these areas already.
