Pros
Engaging work environment! The NetBase product and internal teams are constantly evolving and adapting to the market while staying true to what matters which is quality, reliability, and top of the line engineering to ensure we are a leader in the industry. This guarantees a never boring work life. Diversity matters! NetBase hires based on evidence of talent. There are brilliant people here who have a passion to work hard to make things happen. Not because of a hero or lone ranger mentality, but because they strive to make things better together. Success takes different people from different backgrounds and skillsets to collaborate. Sponsors from leadership! We do have leaders that are willing to raise up a younger generation. Encouraging them, coach them, and share wisdom learned from their experiences. It has been my reality that leadership is reachable, approachable, and inclined to help. The people! I'm honored to work with the team I'm on. They aren't afraid of change and they are willing to share their skillsets, time, and energy to provide the best product in the industry.
Cons
It’s a lot of work. There is not much “down-time” for most of the field teams. Most of the time Work/Life isn’t balanced. However there is a rhythm to how you work that helps or hurts. The best managers enable their team to lean into that by recognizing it, talking about it, and providing resources and tools that help you move from working harder to working smarter. Pro / Con = You can’t hide here. Whatever your day to day task, there are not layers of people to pad the responsibility. You’ll need to be efficient and follow through or you won’t enjoy it / want to stay.
