Get ready for growth both personally and professionally
Pros
- Kristen and Jon lead with empathy and truly care how about your personal and professional goals. They've created a unique environment where "people first" is often touted and you can truly be your authentic self. You're cheered on when you can recognize "swampy" feelings to get them out in the air and turn them around into something positive. They want to know exactly how you feel and what you're interested in so they can help shape your perfect career or shepherd you off into the world wherever you want to go/be. - Leadership fully recognizes that a happy, relaxed, and well-rested employee performs WAY better than one that is stressed or overworked. They often encourage us to take time for ourselves. If you need to start your day an hour late because you didn't sleep well the night before, that's cool! - A very flexible schedule! If you're a mom and have kids at home running around in the background, they get it and are SO flexible with your scheduling needs. Need to run an errand - no problem. - Having side gigs or other interests is something that is encouraged and many of the team have. - Our weekly team meetings are something everyone looks forward to and provide our 100% remote team a way to feel more personal and in touch with all. - Even though this job is remote, it does NOT feel like it! We frequently meet with other team members via Zoom for client meetings, one to one's, or even just to chat to catch up. - Everyone on the team is just brilliant! I've learned so much just by reading some of the messages in Slack or by watching a presentation given by a fellow team member. You will continue to learn new things on a daily basis. - The interview process was lengthy, BUT if you think about the fact that it's remote and you don't meet people (right away) it's completely understandable. They need to get to know you. And when you interview, your not just interviewing for the job. You're interviewing to be on the team. We're a family and leadership understands it needs to be the right fit for all. - We are now on employment status (no more contracting!) and they just introduced NEW benefits which include 3 months paid parental (maternity/paternity/adoption) leave and health benefits! Amazing!
Cons
- They don't have a retirement benefit set up but I do think it's in the works.
