Pros
Coming in to Tradesy when I did, I was able to build out projects the way I saw best fit the company's ecosystem. I was allowed to be completely autonomous in my role and decided everything I would work on. I always had the complete backing of my manager and their trust to make the best decisions possible on which direction I planned to head.
WORK LIFE BALANCE
Because of how autonomous I was allowed to work, I would show up and leave whenever I needed. Some days, I'd show up for a few hours and then head home. As long as work was getting done, there is not a huge amount of pressure or oversight. It's extremely lax.
DOG FRIENDLY
I brought my dog every day. My pup, like 99% of them in the office, would just hang out in bed and wait for people to come play or say hi.
EVERYONE is extremely friendly. Though it was the nature of my job to get to know every person on the team, I can say this group of people have been the most kind I've ever worked with.
COMPANY PERKS
Happy hours, team lunches, daily catered lunches, weekly game nights, weekly yoga sessions, daily push-up meetups, stocked fridge, and as much coffee as you could ever need.
Every job is what you make of it. Working at Tradesy made it easy to make the most of every day. Working at Tradesy was extremely rewarding and I miss it dearly.
Cons
Growth paths are also not extremely well defined and it can be difficult to gain clarity around this. This seems to be true across different departments in the company.
There are not a ton of opportunities to stop and celebrate the little wins.
