Pros

Techstars is an awesome place to work. Incredible team mates, wonderful guiding principles like Give First, and the opportunity to make a big difference through empowering entrepreneurship everyday. In addition, I love that Techstars is a distributed team. Because we have a global footprint, we get to collaborate with team mates around the world, which makes travel a lot more fun :) Speaking of our team, love that there are so many amazing women in leadership positions, including the COO, CFO, and SVP of Product.

Cons

Working as a fully distributed team, communication can occasionally be challenging; that said I appreciate the tools available to us and the efforts that management/ HR takes to alleviate pain points.
