Pros
- Flexible work: All options are available, from telecommuting to full-time remote - Open, collaborative culture: Team members can help shape projects and company direction - Opportunities for growth and change: The company is supportive of changes and growth within the company, whether it's your own role or finding new ways to contribute on projects - Modern tech stack: Employees choose their own computer; collaborative Google Drive docs is used for everything; custom-built apps help for planning time, tools like Harvest for time-tracking and expenses. - Learning and development budgets: All employees are encouraged to find conferences and learning opportunities, which the company funds - Social: There's an annual 2-day offsite for learning and team growth, a year-end party and a summer BBQ (plus the occasional meal for holidays and events, and a company softball team). And people tend to eat together at lunch. - Public profile support: For team members who want to develop their own public profile, employees can speak at conferences and write for publications, on company time - Supportive people: In general, the company's team and leadership is here to support team members as real people, whether through big moments (like having kids) or tough times (needing a medical leave) to normal every day life stuff.
Cons
- Documentation and process can sometimes be lacking, in favour of finding innovative new approaches - There can be a lack of clarity in terms of structure (the company has tended towards "flat" org structures vs. hierarchies, which can be great, but also can lead to some uncertainty)
