Pros
The people are smart, collaborative, kind, and wonderfully unique. Everyone cares immensely about the company's mission and works with genuine dedication. One of my favorite things about the culture is that we rarely outsource and prefer to develop expertise in house, which has resulted in a team of very talented, intelligent individuals who feel full ownership over their roles and are willing to share that knowledge with others. It's a true learning environment that benefits the company as well as our personal career growth as employees. It's become fashionable for companies to have a social mission and use that as a marketing vehicle, which is ok, but UncommonGoods truly believes in doing the right thing. It's why the company exists and is part of every decision we make. The CEO and leadership team genuinely want to use business as a force for good - whether they get credit for it or not. Lastly, we're not a startup that relies on investment money, extremely optimistic business plans, and unsustainable promotions. The company operates creatively but with sound business sense and a focus on profitability.
Cons
It's not in the most convenient/fun location and the interview process can be a little intense.
