Pros

You'll learn a lot quickly or of necessity. Most co-workers are great people.

Cons

Current leadership had no direction. Only room for advancement when good managers move on. Management does not care about bottom rung employees, zero incentive to be a good performer.

At OuterBox, we take team development and long-term retention seriously. While rapid learning is part of our fast-paced environment, it's not a substitute for structure, support, and clear career paths—areas where we’ve made significant, intentional investments. Earlier this year, we launched comprehensive career progression plans to provide transparency and direction for advancement across all roles. These are reinforced by monthly Sparring Day training sessions, designed to ensure every team member is actively growing in their role and adding strategic value to our clients. To further demonstrate our commitment, we also implemented a performance-based bonus program tied directly to client retention and teammate impact. Our focus on accountability extends to leadership as well—we’ve clearly defined our 3-year vision and 2025 objectives, and we review progress against those objectives openly in our monthly company-wide meetings. We’re proud of the direction we’re heading and remain focused on fostering a culture where people are empowered to succeed and stay.

Pros

Some groups are very specialized and highly skilled There are some teams that care deeply about their clients and deliver really high performance Remote work Summer Fridays

Cons

The company has grown extremely fast but is not keeping standards up across the organization. It is clear that the quality of work and level of expertise varies significantly based on which team you are on. Some processes are built around certain offices or teams but don't consider the full organization. There is very limited engagement for culture events.
