Pros

*Extraordinarily meaningful mission to work on human transformation at scale. *Co-workers are A+++ caliber, in smarts and personality. *Commitment to growing with readings, offsites, and self-development (including coaching for all, of course) *Recent leadership across R&D functions shows up with authenticity, experience and confidence. Sets a good tone and makes it more fun for all of us to work on hard problems together.

Cons

*Mission and value alignment with this type of opportunity space means people care about their work as more than a job. This can keep drawing you in, and the organization is still at the size where it feels very possible to change the world based on that one extra hackathon project...

Pros

I have enjoyed coaching a number of members here over the years.

Cons

Too many to name… they really seem to be on a downhill slope when they have to keep repeating that many coaches have low workloads now but it’s because they have changed the business strategy… they do have coaches tagged to that new strategy but it’s mysterious how they got those opportunities… they like to hide behind the idea that the algorithm makes decisions on workload but that’s BS to an extent.
