Pros
I have worked at AfterShokz for two-years now and consider myself very lucky to have found a company that aligns well with my core values. AfterShokz cares about the well-being of their team, their customers, and community. During my time with this company, I received a promotion within my first few months and have had many opportunities to further develop my professional skills. Each employee is given the space to grow, learn, and make mistakes while being supported by their team and supervisor. In my experience, management (including the C-suite) genuinely cares about both the professional and personal well-being of each person on our team. A healthy work-life balance is not only encouraged, it's required. Each person on the team is required to take at least one 5-day paid vacation throughout the year. Management also has an open-door policy, staff at all levels are encouraged to bring their ideas, suggestions, and complaints to the table so they can be addressed. AfterShokz has also been incredibly supportive throughout the Covid pandemic. Our Employee Experience team worked very hard to make sure each team member's concerns were heard and that each person at the company feels safe and supported while working from home.
Cons
AfterShokz is still a fairly small company with a start-up culture. With that in mind, there may be some questions you may have that don't have answers in our employee handbook yet. However, our HR person is wonderful and is open to feedback and suggestions when you have any questions about policies. Another aspect of most start-ups is that you may find yourself wearing different hats on different days. While I enjoy that variety, if you're the kind of person who likes to do the same tasks every day, this culture may not be right for you.
