Pros

- Great team; motivated, intelligent, and very caring people! - Lots of room for growth; It's a start up so there is always something that needs to be done and opportunities to learn skills that will help you improve your own work.

Cons

- Split office makes communication difficult and slow at times - Matrix organizational structure is a bit confusing at times in terms of who needs to be looped into what.

Pros

+ A great learning culture that prioritizes getting things done + People on the team genuinely like one another + Founders care deeply about team and product + Mission and vision of the startup clearly defined--a path forward is clear to see +++ Great amounts of company snacks

Cons

- Distributed team makes it hard to coordinate certain projects - It's an early stage startup--that means lots of room to grow, but also means that there is a lot of work to go around that needs to be dealt with imminently.

You are absolutely right that there are challenges about distributed teams and we are constantly working on improvements as we keep growing. We are always glad to see that the teams enjoy working together and that there is collaborative environment supportive or learning. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions, it is very helpful to us and the Springboard community! - Springboard People team

Pros

- Really positive team and co-founders that encourage professional development. - The ability to make an impact in education. - Great benefits - funny co-working space, unlimited vacation days, semi-annual company retreats, etc.

Cons

- Communication can sometimes get lost since we have 2 offices (one in San Francisco and the other in Bangalore), however, it's pretty minimal.

Thank you! We will definitely keep promoting our mission! It is much easier when we have great co-workers to help us with it. We do realize there could be challenges with teams in different time zones and always appreciate your feedback and suggestions on potential improvements.
