Hi there - thanks for the comment and for calling out the people and collaboration - I love those aspects too. On management, it's certainly appropriate that this is where the buck stops. No-one anticipated the impact of COVID-19 and that forced most businesses to make tough decisions that, as the leaders, we have to take responsibility for. Regardless, we have a great deal of affection for every person that pours their heart into what they do at AskNicely and here's hoping that you find every success in your next step.

Pros

I started here recently, and have been overwhelmed by the positive and friendly reception I've received from the team. So far my experience has been incredibly wonderful, with an emphasis on collaboration and an overall drive to grow and move quickly. Benefits are uniquely amazing, including Nice Days and a yearly Work From Anywhere stipend. We are positioned to add a ton of positions this year, so growth potential is limitless~ I'm really excited for the future.

Cons

Since we're still in startup mode, we're still figuring things out. There aren't uniform processes set in place for everything yet, so if you struggle with a bit of ambiguity this might not be the right fit for you. However, if you love to figure things out, build processes and work together to discover best practices, this would be a great fit!
