Pros
Since I joined AskNicely, I can feel and see that AskNicely is so different from any other organisations I worked for. The eagerness to improve and to find new ways to do things is the one which stands out. Moreover, the AskNicely way of putting as number one priority the well-being of their people and removing the barriers for them to perform should be regarded as an example to the industry. The quick action AskNicely did on nearly every feedback should be praised too. I remember at the early day when I started, I asked for clearer roadmap and company vision, I saw AskNicely responded and provided that to the wider team in short time. That’s awesome. I think it benefits the whole team with a clear picture and direction. People said plan without action is useless. That’s exactly true. Taking action is what matters, and AskNicely did it right. I’m not sure company values was covered. If not, it would be great to highlight that. For me, values is what actually drive me to work! AskNicely is also great in perceiving crisis/uncertainty ahead and take action well before anybody else which gives AskNicely an edge. Part of my oriental culture gives me that kind of sense too. It does help me to navigate the world full of uncertainties. I think it is true for AskNicely as a company too, particularly in this time. Finally, I am proud of being part of AskNicely and would keep telling people AskNicely story.
Cons
Have to resist the temptation to go into the kitchen.
