Pros
Personal Perspective:
- Flexible work hours (ability to work from home in many groups),
- They sincerely care about employee welfare (we have groups dedicated to work/life balance and other welfare related areas),
- Emphasis on mentoring and training (my team has weekly meetings dedicated to furthering our knowledge),
Work Perspective:
- Challenging/stimulating projects to work on (every time I meet with a manager I get even more excited about where our platform is going),
- Intelligent co-workers (I have learned much from my teammates),
- Entrepreneurial spirit and innovative (we have innovation challenges, skunkworks projects always going on, and promote a collaborative environment where people are not afraid to voice their opinions),
- We are a customer focused company (in fact all of the new projects I am hiring for are to better the customers experience),
- The managers I support including my immediate management is encouraging and provide the right amount of assistance without becoming a micro manager.
- Ability to impact the company - working here you have many opportunities to impact the company as we are still very startup like on the inside - not many processes or procedures to impede you.
Our company is always encouraging us to get out in the community and volunteer.
Cons
As a recruiter/sourcer our internal systems can be better - right now they are pretty clunky. However we do have a team developing a new ATS for us to use.
As a remote employee it would be nice to visit the office at least twice a year. In 2 years I have been able to visit the main campus twice.
In the sourcer chair the only career growth I have is to move into a manager or recruiter role (neither of which I want). With that being said there is not much career growth in my role. I know my management is working on improving this and feel confident it will improve.
