Still the best job I've ever had

Pros

I've learned and experienced so much during my time at OwnLocal that has set me up for a great career. My co-workers are hard-working, supremely helpful and understanding. We have a very open no-dumb-questions culture of learning and improvement that I'm glad I've been able to help grow. I have had a lot of opportunities to significantly improve our product and customers, and I'm very excited about our future roadmap.

Cons

Focusing on new unproven platforms at the expense of the existing product was a pretty serious misstep, thankfully this has been corrected. We're a bit of a rowdy bunch on occasion, can get somewhat noisy. Nothing a good pair of Bose headphones can't cure.

Pros

The culture of OwnLocal is enviable. The people here are some of the best around. Everyone is passionate about our joint mission and work incredibly hard to accomplish our end goal. Every single person here works hard and has a great time while doing it. I want to work harder, perform better, and stay longer because the desire for achieving excellence radiates. We also genuinely enjoy each other. There's not a single person here I wouldn't want to hang out with after work. We eat lunch with everyone, everyday and are constantly hosting team building activities and events. The culture that was created is also protected. Our interview process, while sometimes arduous, makes sure that each employee has a say in who we hire next. Everyone's vote is equally as important as the next and that's a pretty great asset.

Cons

It's hard work and requires you to leave your ego at the door. Every person does what it takes to accomplish the task at hand. Also, this isn't a 9-5. If those aren't for you, this isn't for you.

Pros

I have so many positives and I don't know where to start. I love my job. I genuinely enjoy being around my co-workers. I feel challenged in my work and am constantly motivated to challenge the day-to-day. Everyone is on the same level. Executives, developers, account managers, support; we all rely on each other to make the OwnLocal world turn. I have never worked in such a positive environment.

Cons

Most people work 45+ hours a week. if you don't enjoy that, this job isn't for you.
