Businestry - Executive Assistant SurgeU Employee Review

The atmosphere and culture are excellent. The employment and management are all supportive and encouraging. They are true to their mission.

The company is in a fast growth phase and working under tight deadlines in a fast paced environment. There is continuous change and struggles with communication. For someone with patience and time to endure the growth phases, the advantages will far outweigh the rough spots.

I’ve learned more in one year here than in the previous five years of my career. Not because of more hours, but because of more effective hours. Leadership challenges you to think differently about what actually moves the needle. The mission is real, not a slide deck, and it doesn’t come at the expense of business rigor. There’s an expectation that you bring kingdom-level purpose and marketplace-level execution. The impact on clients, students, and people is tangible. Speed, strategy, excellence, mentorship. All of it raised my standard for what good work looks like.

This is a well-established company that still operates with a startup mentality. Pivots are frequent. Products launch and get pulled based on real KPIs. Leadership is honest, sometimes bluntly so, and a project you worked on for a month may get scrapped. If you need every idea affirmed or can’t handle constructive criticism, this will be tough. If you’re coachable, you’ll grow faster than you thought possible. This place requires an equal balance of purpose, people, and profit. If you only care about results but aren’t kind and don’t connect with the mission, you won’t fit. If you love people but don’t care about execution, you’ll get overwhelmed. Bottom line: I’d recommend Life Surge to any driven, high-character person who wants to be sharpened and utilize their gifts to drive results. The mission is real. The growth is real. And the challenge is worth it.
