Pros
I joined Veristat to feel a connection to my work that had been missing up to that point in my career. I knew I could get behind an organization that was doing important work, whose employees were dedicated to making a difference. What I underestimated was how much of that was the work vs. how much of it was the company culture/people. While the work is certainly something to be proud of, so much of the company's draw is actually rooted in it's remarkable people. Veristat is full of highly educated, brilliant people, yet they are everyday, caring, kind-hearted people. Everyone who walks through the door is treated with respect, problems are solved with collaboration, not blame, and people are willing to meet change and growth with an open mind.
Cons
The company has grown quite significantly in the past few years. They have made some recent investments in upgrades (gorgeous new office space) to help this along, but are still chipping away at additional upgrades (technology) to continue to move the company forward. This could feel frustrating, but it also feels intentional, deliberate and stable, rather than fly by the seat of our pants growth.
