Pros

Great benefits. The people are super welcoming and friendly. The company is mid-sized so your ideas can still have a significant impact in shaping the future. The CEO is very transparent and inclusive of all employees in meetings regarding company operations.

Cons

The pipeline is limited even though the company existed since the late 1990s, but it is starting to make waves and there is a ton of potential for individuals willing to contribute value to the company.

Creating an environment where individuals feel connected to the work and broader context is important to us.

We encourage ongoing dialogue with your manager to identify opportunities to increase visibility, involvement, and impact in ways that align with your role.
