Great startup - Support Manager bei DataScience.com: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Look, this is the best job I've ever had, and I don't get excited about jobs. The company is dynamic, the team is scary smart, and we're really well positioned in the industry. I'm constantly given opportunities to sharpen my skills and explore new things I'm interested in, and from my co-workers all the way up to our CEO, I never doubt that my work is appreciated or that I'm a valued member of the team. With regards to work-life balance, my personal experience has been that while you're definitely expected to perform, you also get a ton of flexibility in return. I've never once been side-eyed for taking time away for doctors appointments or family events, or for working from home when I need to focus. My boss checks in with me frequently to make sure I'm not feeling overworked, and he always encourages us to take some time away when we've been pulling long hours. The thing is, no one in management is a mind reader. If you're feeling drained, you have to speak up and let them know. Other things I love: - The company fosters a learning environment, not just by giving employees basically endless opportunities for education, but by hosting area meet-ups that everyone on the team is invited to attend. - There are multiple advocacy groups at the company that volunteer for local non-profit charities and education centers. - Management is always transparent about how things are going.

Yes, we work long hours sometimes, especially if there are features we need to get out the door. But that's what you sign up for when you join a start-up. Like another reviewer said, if you're looking for a comfortable, predictable, 9-5 job, that's fine, everyone has their preferences, but this isn't the place. However, if you're feeling burned out, rather than venting anonymously, let. your. boss. know. I promise that will make you feel better than ranting on Glassdoor. It's true that the company could stand to be more diverse, but that's being addressed head-on. Things can sometimes feel disorganized, planning-wise, because we're moving so fast and there are so many things in motion at once. We could probably stand to streamline some of our processes so we can keep moving quickly but make sure everyone is on the same page.

I’ve been at DataScience for just over 6 months now. Working here has honestly been one of the best professional experiences I’ve had to date. Among others, there are three main reasons why I feel incredibly fortunate to work at DataScience. First of all, we are doing big things. Just like our name suggests, we have big intentions to own the category of “tools for data science”. From our platform, to our in-house expertise, to our marketing strategy, the pieces are in place for us to hit a home-run and, as a result, push this industry forward. Second, the people here are second to none. Everyone I work with at DataScience is not only incredibly bright, but incredibly kind! I’ve worked at a number of world-class companies and DataScience – insofar as recruitment is concerned – is on par with the best of the best. Third, the leadership. While every startup goes through its growing pains, I am incredibly impressed with the leadership team’s ability to manage morale and lead with transparency. There is an open-door policy here, and the leadership team is indeed open to feedback & suggestions. Oh, that, and I like my boss (if you’ve had a bad boss before, you can understand how valuable this point is). Right now, as a business, we are at a critical inflection point in the company’s maturity. This is the exact reason why I signed up to work for a startup: I want to do big things, own my job, and have fun doing it.

Unless you come from a very, very spoiled work environment, I don't think you'll find much to complain about.
