Pros
- Regularly see our Exec team make hard decisions within the framework of our core values.
- Our Exec team gives huge amount of transparency; have never had this personally at previous companies.
- Strong, neighborly culture. You're coming to work with people who care deeply about doing right by the communities we serve.
- Managers care. Let's be clear, managers are humans and no one is perfect, but there's a firm cultural belief in responding thoughtfully to critical feedback. That includes managers responding to feedback from direct reports. There are often skip-level meetings to check that this is going well.
- Huge opportunity to be in the driver's seat of your own career. Stressing that you have to be willing to put in the work, seek feedback, and be the driver. That said, I've been here three+ years and have massively changed the scope of my role by looking for emerging business needs and working hard to be the best candidate to take on the new challenges.
- Excellent health care package
- Great compensation. Again, managers aren't mind readers and you do need to communicate your needs, but I've seen and experienced consistent, sustained hard work being rewarded very fairly.
- Lots of cross functional mentorship. If you ask for advice or for someone in another department or someone above you to give feedback or teach you something, I've only ever encountered willingness to teach and share.
- The learning series! We had Arianna Huffington come in and give a talk. My personal favorite was a talk by Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The power of passion and perseverance.
Cons
- This IS a demanding place to work. If you're looking for something easy where you can coast, this might not be the best place for you. If you're looking for a challenge and are willing to put in the work (you have grit, if you will), then I strongly encourage you to apply for one of our open positions!
