Pros
1. So many fun culture events! This company goes out of its way to bring its remote employees together. Lunch and Learns, Lunch Roulettes, lunchtime yoga, Virtual Prom, weekly Happy Hours, virtual Holiday party. Many opportunities for us all to connect outside of a work. 2. Working to improve diversity! Legit trying to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, through the holidays we get to observe (like Juneteenth! MLK Day!), the DE&I committee, cultural coffee talks about DE&I topics, benefits that support families of all types, and an internal commitment to allowing all voices to be heard. 3. Fully Remote and remote-first mindset! Work from anywhere! 4. Ever-improving benefits! I've been here over a year and have watched our benefits improve dramatically. Unlimited/flexible PTO! Family leave! Tons of wellness benefits like DSA/FSA/HSA, Kindbody, TalkSpace, HealthAdvocate, etc! 5. A regular outpouring of praise and acknowledgement. People here are not afraid to shout out awesome work or rockstar colleagues. You get donuts on your birthday and well-wishes galore for every other kind of celebration. Good work is called out and appreciated. We are super collaborative and high-fivey. It's such a positive, upbeat place to work. 6. THE PEOPLE. I love coming to work every day because everyone here is so kind and welcoming and hard working. Under performers will not do well here since we all have to wear different hats and help one another out in various ways. But team players will thrive!
Cons
1. Startup pains may not be for some folks. But anyone in a small, quickly growing company will have to deal with similar things -- areas where we may be lacking processes or transparency or enough communication. 2. The fast paced work environment may not be for everyone (personally, I love it). 3. Some people dont love the remote-only aspect of work right now.
