Sofar So Good

Pros

- Genuine people who care about what they're doing and each other - Lots of opportunities to stretch yourself, there's no shortage of things to do - Managers/leaders are busy but accessible, no blockers on talking to anyone in the company - Flexible work set up, managers are trusting of the team

Cons

- hybrid work sometimes makes it hard to see what's happening behind the scenes (can also be a pro though because there's flexibility on how work gets done as long as it's getting done well) - hiring, not easy to add headcount to the team - can feel a bit reactive vs. proactive at times, especially on building features - no 401k matching

Pros

We're at the beginning stages of creating high impact and meaning of the data we're collecting from our oceans. The possibilities are endless and that is incredibly energizing. The people who work at this company work alongside and in collaboration with each other despite it being a highly complex business structure. The Sofarers are by far the best part of working here and that isn't just my opinion but something you hear echoed throughout. You're working on understanding the ocean alongside so many ocean-lovers - it's a special energy. There is no shortage of projects to contribute to and improvements to make. When Sofar says "grab an oar" they aren't kidding.

Cons

Because the business model is complex is takes consistent strong communication to make sure everyone is aligned on what they're working towards outside of just the OKRs. It is something that is important and can feel like a grind from time to time. Teams are small which can be a pro and can be a con depending on how you look at it. Assuming this will change with time and more funding.
