Pros

Open, Honest and Humanness are not only some of the company values at Springboard, but also the words I would use to describe every single member on the team. You are always learning in this environment, have many opportunities to learn something new, jump on a passion project or bring your interests and ideas to your role. New ideas and how we can improve are welcomed from day 1!

Cons

I have no cons at this time.

Pros

* Not 'yet another ed-tech start-up'. People here really care about the students and creating a product that makes a difference in their lives. * Lots of freedom to take ownership and try out your ideas. Fast paced and willing to experiment, yet sensible and balanced * Fun!!! Really great, genuinely nice people that you like hanging out with. * Flexibility. Getting your work done is more important than where you get it done from

Cons

* Growing pains-big mission, big dreams, growing rapidly - figuring out what internal structures will support our growth * Constantly running out of meeting rooms! Alas, we had to encroach the sacred library space last time

Totally agree with you — such a great group of people and, yes, some growth-related challenges (... a good problem to have! :-)) We are actively exploring space solutions for 2019! Thanks for your comments and for helping the whole Springboard community of students, mentors, and team achieve our mission of bridging the world's skills gap. - Springboard People Team

Pros

+ Challenging, interesting and dynamic work + Founders and colleagues that really care about the impact we're having—it's incredibly fulfilling to see that your effort translates to real outcomes for students (and mentors) + A team that is smart, hard-working, and intellectually curious = a great environment to learn and challenge yourself + People bring their authentic selves to work here. We are a super diverse group of ethnic backgrounds, social styles, interests. + International travel! We have a team offsite that brings together the Bangalore and SF office every year. I've been to 7 different countries with many people on the team which has been great.

Cons

We've grown rapidly this year and communication/information flows haven't always been perfect. This is my first time at a startup this size so I'm not sure how normal this is, but it can be a challenge.
