Pros
I always ask my candidates to assess an opportunity by reviewing their ability to collaborate with the team and consider what they will learn from that team, how they feel about the role and the potential for long term growth to fit their career goals, and how they feel about the company and it's mission and products. As I ask others to do this everyday, it is only fair that I make the same assessment. Here is my review: People: I work with people that bring a diversity of skillsets to their roles. The engineers are open, transparent, and easy to collaborate with. My colleagues value my input despite my background being a little bit different. Position: My role is ever evolving and stays at the cusp of challenge that keeps me ever engaged. I am able to leverage what I enjoy most about my role: having real conversations with people about what they want from their careers and leading them to the decisions that will best serve them. I have the freedom to put my candidates interest ahead of all, and I work for a company where more often than not, we provide the best option available Product/Mission: We are democratizing finance. I truly believe that an equitable society can only be achieved when everyone has access to information that will aid them in making decisions that lead them towards achieving financial independence. This is where I want to be for the foreseeable future.
