Pros
When I l decided that it was time to leave my former employer and seek new employment, I promised myself that regardless of how long it took, I would hold out until I found my dream company. It took quite some time, but finally I found Expel. I get to remotely most days which affords me the opportunity to see my kids and be actively involved in the family. Expel goes out of its way to retrofit all the conference rooms with Zoom webcams which makes it great for remote employees and we don't feel like second-class employees. In addition, they have a great company culture. I've never worked in a company where cross-team collaboration is not only encouraged, but is the norm and happens on a daily basis. The company also takes their employees welfare seriously. It is often repeated that our life priorities should be (1) Our faith and health (2) our family (3) the company. Having worked in many companies which expect health and family sacrifices for the good of the company, this has been refreshing. I have really enjoyed the culture of transparency as well. It has been great to approach an executive (who make themselves very available) and ask them a question and get straight answers.
Cons
Expel is a new company, so this brings a couple challenges: 1) There is a risk (very low, I think) that Expel might not make it and we'll have to look for new jobs 2) This isn't a company where you can just "punch the clock". Work isn't stressful, but everyone works hard 3) There is a 401k account provided, but there currently isn't any matching, but that will probably change in the future
