Pros
It feels good to be part of a healthy team and work environment. Several of my teammates take advantage of the free membership to Orange Theory fitness that our company provides. I also enjoy a membership to the Austin Contemporary art museum, offered by our CEO. Our leadership also invests in our professional growth. For example, one of our senior developers led weekly workshops where he provided lunch and taught coding to all who were interested. In terms of the day-to-day, it’s a privilege to be part of a group with so many talented people. Across departments, my colleagues at Digital Pharmacist are some of the smartest and most skilled people I’ve ever worked with so closely. As professionals, we are trusted with autonomy, and since we know most of our coworkers by name, most people do their best to help each other out. We communicate about accounts to take care of our clients—after all we’re evaluated and compensated based on our clients’ success. People take pride in doing things well, naturally work hard, and take ownership in our company’s success.
Cons
Fast pace and high expectations. Never a boring day on the job!
