Pros

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work at a such a fantastic company. 1) Smart, empathetic, hard working people 2) Our product is a market leader and we do quality work for the most design-centric companies in the world 3) Inclusive, supportive culture. no politics or pettiness 4) Approachable leadership team that is personally invested 5) For a tech company, good progress toward gender parity 6) High growth rate is balanced by responsible decision making, meaning there is tons of growth potential for individuals and we don’t have the insecurity of a typical startup. Best of both worlds. 7) generous benefits, beautiful office on the river, tasty snacks, flexible work options

Cons

Our team is lean. It never feels like we have quite enough hands on deck so we all work hard. Work life balance is generally respected but when you’re working, you hustle.

Thank you for the review! We are so happy that you also see the power of empathy in our peers at dscout. Likewise, we are excited about dscout’s DEI journey (and glad you are as well!). As a startup, we are often lean as the business evolves and we tackle new challenges. If you have any ideas how to make us more efficient and effective during these moments, please share them! That feedback is so valuable.

Pros

Growing, vibrant company with a huge opportunity in its field. Fun to work at a tech startup that is fundamentally about helping businesses better understand people. Lots of startup energy plus experienced leadership. Collaborative, congenial team. People get along with each other, believe in the mission and enjoy coming to work. Great location in a vintage building in River North. Really strong benefits for a growth stage company.

Cons

Some minor small company growing pains but leadership is open and actively working to keep strengthening the culture.
