Pros

The people are HelloSign's biggest strength. It has the most diverse, fun-loving, hard-working, intelligent, friendly, curious employees I've worked with. If that's not enough for you, compensation, work-life balance, great benefits, and an awesome office are on my top list as well.

Cons

As a start-up, this company is not for everyone. My lesson was that I had to be a self-starter to really make this job work for me. That being said, once I figured that out, I was able to go wild -- formalizing the processes that worked for me and my team, wearing multiple hats and learning about other roles and the company in general. Also, while I love my team mates, they sometime work too hard and come in when they're sick. We've had a few instances where a cold will sweep the office. Which shouldn't be a problem because HelloSign has a liberal telecommuting policy!

Pros

HelloSign is the best company I've ever worked for, specifically because everyone is truly empowered to take ownership, callout feedback and make changes. Become joining this team, I came from a highly structured hierarchy, working for large corporations. "Red tape" was a buzz word, but I didn't fully understand how much my hands were tied until I joined HelloSign and witnessed first hand how easily recommendations can be presented and thoughtfully considered. It's a place where I feel safe and encouraged to respectfully disagree when I think there is a better approach, everyone is receptive to new ideas (including our senior leaders); all in efforts to push towards constant improvement. Commitment is extremely high, we're all invested in building this company and culture together. We even recently had an off-site retreat for the whole company to identify our company values...talk about inclusion!

Cons

The company is growing and there are processes that just don't exist or are no longer well matched for the new company size. This takes time and patience to sort through, but this is also why our team is so engaged...everyone plays a strong part in building the company we want to work for.
