Pros

Happy with the work environment, work-life balance, professional development support and compensation. Good opportunity for growth, professional, intelligent, hardworking colleagues with integrity for process, management and performance evaluation. I mostly work with the operations support tasks, those that most people will not see. In this particular role I enjoy the feeling of being responsible of the general process success. The company provides great support and benefits.

Cons

One challenge I faced - occasional cultural tensions, but I view such issues as a learning experience.

Pros

This was a breakthrough opportunity to have a hand in improving student transportation in the country and I simply couldn’t let it pass me by. Access to the latest in technology allow me to put out my best work. I also have an amazing team who works with me. I enjoy working here because the people all have a great sense of humor so even if our projects are serious, it never feels heavy. For a start-up, the salary is considerably high and even has an equity portion to it. The benefits are also complete and include Dental / Medical / vision benefits as well as PTO.

Cons

The firm operates at a high speed. But this is characteristic of any startup.

Pros

Everyday is different for me because traffic conditions are not always the same. For example, road accidents cause unexpected traffic which affect our routes. Cross-functional collaboration is great. Each one brings their best skills to the table, serious about the work we have to accomplish. Management has just the right touch of leadership. Big problems are resolved promptly. While mid-level managers and even the staff are empowered to take on the more minor issues. The company is well-funded and has all the resources necessary to fuel its growth.

Cons

It’s a young company, only 6 years old, so things are not yet as organized as the older companies. Growing pains are to be expected. Some new hires get easily disappointed by these and leave without establishing a legacy or tenure.
