Meaningful work in a high-performance environment
Pros
CharacterStrong is one of the rare organizations where the mission, values, and culture genuinely align. The work is incredibly meaningful, and it's rewarding to know that what we do positively impacts students, educators, and communities every day. The company has built a strong people-first culture centered on kindness, ownership, excellence, and problem-solving. The team is filled with exceptionally bright, talented, and passionate individuals who care deeply about both the work and each other. As a remote organization, there is a high level of trust and flexibility, while still maintaining a strong connection and collaboration across teams. If you're someone who enjoys learning, growing, and working alongside high performers who challenge and support one another, you'll find plenty of opportunities to thrive here.
Cons
CharacterStrong is a high-performance environment, which can be both a strength and a challenge. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and there is significant accountability. While many employees appreciate these standards, this type of environment may not be the right fit for everyone. Because collaboration is highly valued, there can also be a lot of meetings. While they are generally productive and purposeful, there are times when additional focus time would be beneficial. Aside from this, it's hard to find any additional cons.
