A Thriving Environment with Innovative Approach and Engaged Team
Pros
One of the standout aspects of working here is the team. I truly enjoy talking with every person that's a part of this company and find that they carry such passion for the business and the impact we have. The leadership team is forward-thinking, and always open to new, well-thought-out ideas. There's a strong sense of empowerment within the team, and you truly feel like your contributions make a difference. Surprisingly, the work-life balance is pretty good for a startup-stage company - there are definitely times where we have to push harder than normal, but these are balanced with camaraderie and support from everyone, from the top to the bottom. We also have quarterly virtual team games/happy-hours, in addition to meeting up at the office a couple times a year. The team's culture encourages growth, collaboration, and open communication. No company is without its momentary issues, and these are regularly surveyed and addressed, providing opportunity for deeper understanding of why decisions are made. Overall, GPX Intelligence is a fantastic place to grow if you’re passionate about keeping the world's supply chain moving and being part of a team that is truly making an impact and on the leading edge of technology. I’m excited to see where the company is headed and feel lucky to be part of the journey!
Cons
While the company is growing quickly, this can sometimes mean tight deadlines and a lot of multitasking/wearing multiple hats. It’s exciting and great exposure to functions of the business that you might not otherwise get at a big company, but it’s not for everyone if you prefer a slower-paced work environment. Despite this, I'd still say it has better work/life balance, compared to other start-ups that churn & burn talent. Benefits are strong, but do lack a 401K plan. Leadership is looking into this, though.
