Pros

My team is excellent. There is an emphasis on work/life balance, my manager trusts us to do our jobs and genuinely cares about our wellbeing, and it is a great opportunity to get paid to learn. The benefits are good and have improved since I was hired, but they do not make up for the lack of raises/promotions.

Cons

Most teams do not appear to have the same approach as mine. Micromanaging is rampant, as are layoffs/restructuring. Every month, we hear how much money our products made and how successful we are, but when it comes time for promotions, raises, or even allocating budget for conferences, suddenly there isn't any. The company also boasts about DEI initiatives, but has done next to nothing in terms of action. There was not even an acknowledgement of Black History month or Pride, much less a celebration.

Pros

Norstella has built a culture that genuinely prioritizes innovation, collaboration, and doing what’s best for the company and its people. There’s a strong sense that everyone is working toward the same goals, and leaders across the organization are aligned in driving meaningful impact. One of the best parts of working here is the team environment. I truly enjoy working with my direct team as well as peers across different functions. There’s a high level of mutual respect, and people are always willing to support each other and share ideas. It’s not just talk, there’s a real commitment to helping one another succeed. The leadership team fosters an environment where new ideas are encouraged, and employees are empowered to contribute. It creates a space where innovation can thrive, and you feel like your work actually matters.

Cons

Being remote has its difficulties, but overcomable
