Mission-driven startup that actually values diversity

Pros

Diversity truly matters at Howl - from the very top there's female, LGBTQIA, and BIPOC representation across the leadership team and throughout the company on every team and at every level. Active conversations about neurodiversity, invisible disabilities, etc. Collaborative work style -- instead of getting "sign off" and "approval" leadership genuinely collaborates, helps solve problems and work on solutions together. Working in the Creator economy for a company that actually cares about helping Creators grow their businesses is really inspiring and grounding. We've also started hiring Creators to work at Howl which is a constant reminder of the "why."

Cons

As a remote-first company, there's a heavy emphasis on written communication and approaching work with clear intentionality and preparation. This levels the playing field for introverts and is great for many but some it's not for everyone. Howl has a high performance culture and expects a high standard -- again, great for many but not for everyone.

Pros

- I love the people I work with, who are all very collaborative, smart and hard-working (and diverse!) - The company is in a growing phase which allows for non-stop creativity, offering constructive feedback to the CEO, and implementing new ways of working. I like feeling autonomous in my work that can turn into larger company-wide initiatives or processes. - The clients and partners we work with are fantastic!

Cons

- Hitting revenue goals is always a high-pressure job, so you will likely work more than 40 hours to be successful. - Newer company and platform means you need patience as things get worked out and improved. It can be frustrating when things "don't work" how you'd like them to, so you need to be okay with that style of work.
