Pros

-Leadership is transparent and supportive -All are accountable for work which makes for effective meetings & efficient timelines on ambitious product releases, partner launches, etc -Large emphasis on the psychological safety and culture of the workplace, ie. managers and mentors are encouraged to think about employees' professional development opportunities (including monthly lunch and learns)

Cons

-The reality of working at a startup is a regular amount of shifting priorities and learning to improve processes iteratively. That takes a comfortability with some unknown quantities when making big decisions and familiarity with analyzing risk. -We're a fast growing team so there are moments where we need to devote more and more time to training to bring everyone up to speed which can be draining in waves

Pros

- Warm, friendly culture: Teammates eat lunch together every day, and genuinely enjoy spending time together. - Mission-driven team: The people here feel passionate about solving the student loan crisis, and are genuinely excited to be a part of the solution. - Work: Because the company is still pretty small, there are opportunities to dip your hands into many different projects, and to have a big impact. - Compensation + benefits: For a small company, Summer both pays well and treats its employees fabulously on the benefits front.

Cons

There are growing pains like you'd find at most startups, but none notable enough to deter someone from joining Summer.
