Pros

Having worked at real (chaotic) start-ups and also having worked at a giant bank that positions itself as a tech company (spoiler alert, lots of red tape), I feel like I am having a Goldilocks moment at Expel- It's just right. Pros include: -Spectacular health benefits -Actual unlimited PTO that is easy to take and that you are encouraged to take -Flexibility around WFH and hours in office -Super accommodating to families, I was hired while pregnant -Snacks and food in office and free company lunch on Wednesdays -Reserved parking for anyone who's NOT in leadership which makes me giggle -Product/Service environment that leaves you confident you are doing a good thing and really helping customers -Growing extremely quickly and well-funded, total transparency around funding and money situation which was key for me, having worked at a company who was running out of money -Still small enough that you can work in a way that is impactful on the success of the business

Cons

-Growing quickly is fun but when it's done in a thoughtful way there can be a good amount of stopping and starting again, mostly to ensure the company isn't biting off more than it can chew. -About 25% fully remote staff paired with lots of WFH flexibility and PTO can mean parts of the office are super quiet some days
