Pros
So far, it has been one of the best decisions I have made in my career. I took the leap and left a six-figure, senior-level role in the Investment Banking sector. A major component for me choosing Arizona Tech Finders was the leadership and the vision that the Founder has conveyed to me.
My interview process was relatively short (three weeks consisting of a few interviews with the leadership team, the COO, and the Founder).
The culture component has been extremely different. It is based on collaboration, self- accountability, and an authentic "feel" to the organization. To be fair, I don't think the culture is for everybody.
This place does not have any office politics, it is extremely fast-paced, and a positive energy is a MUST. It's a believe or leave philosophy.
Development has been instrumental. So far, I have had access to all the necessary tools and resources to succeed. The open-door policy with Senior leadership has been very helpful. I have also been afforded the opportunity to work one-on-one with both Development Officers and this has assisted to decrease my learning curve.
Overall the infrastructure and environment have been supportive, transparent, and the opportunities for development and success are nearly endless.
Cons
I will follow-up every year to assess but as of now this place has the infrastructure, process(es), and leadership to achieve many great things.
This place isn't for you if you are looking to sit at on office and collect a check. Expect to work, be agile, and listen. Also, check your ego at the door.
