Pros

- Co-workers are incredibly talented and friendly - I've met some of the smartest people I've ever worked with and everyone has a growth and learning mindset so I never feel out of place for asking questions or not knowing something. - Work-life balance is great - even though we're a startup, the company takes work/life balance seriously. I'm working normal weeks and feel trusted to get my work done on my own time. - Leadership is extremely transparent - I've learned things about running a business that I never knew before and I never am guessing where we're at as a company. - Culture is fun - there have been great company events, fun Slack channels for getting to know your co-workers and sharing your personality and things like book clubs

Cons

- Compensation is a little below other places but is improving as we grow. Benefits are great though.

Pros

I have an excellent manager, Tovala encourages work/life balance, they are invested in you growing personally and professionally. I love the variety of my job and the company culture is just wonderful.

Cons

Some people may find the "start up" vibe frustrating, either having to flex into other tasks or supporting others not in your field, or putting out the occasional "fire" on a friday night. (I personally like this vibe overall though.)

Pros

- Ethical, compassionate leadership: Our CEO and leadership team truly care about culture and doing the right thing. - Collaborative, supportive environment: The tone at the top carries across the organization. - Great product: I truly love my Tovala oven and meals, and so do our customers! - High growth business trajectory: Hard to find this in Chicago. There's so much exciting work ahead to continue to innovate, raise the bar on our product, and grow.

Cons

- Normal growing pains for a startup -- Ambiguity in decision-making / changing priorities, etc. - Consensus-driven culture can at times delay action -- Those who succeed here gather input, but also aggressively chart a course of action.
