Pros

Great culture, employee-focused management, great workspace.

Cons

Little-to-no remote availability, just started down the hybrid path but a long way to go. Salary ranges are slightly below average, but it's overshadowed by their willingness to train new analysts while providing them with a full salary.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the atmosphere here at Critical Start, we aim to make the workspace one that our team members enjoy! We've recently invested in tools that provide data into global compensation for roles among similar companies, competitors, and industry to remain as competitive as possible in retaining and hiring the best talent! Many of our roles are fully remote or hybrid, but unfortunately some of our positions will require more on-site presence, this is something we'll disclose during the interview process. We encourage you to speak with your manager or HR team if the on-site requirement is something you'd like to discuss more in-depth.
