Great company, great team

Recruiting coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

+ Team is great + Leadership is hands on and truly feels like they care about the company mission and embody the values we try to uphold. It feels like they genuinely care about your wellbeing outside of work as well. + I don't feel micromanaged, but still feel supported in the work I do (this may vary per team)

Cons

- Moving to hybrid model (without enough desks in office) - Changes come fast and quickly (can feel like a startup at times) without broader comms across teams or knowing the why
