Pros
I’ve only been here a month and it’s already far surpassed my expectations and prior job experience. What’s the opposite of a toxic work environment?! It’s an early-stage start-up so you get to wear as many hats as you’d like to. That’s not to say they’re loosey-goosey with responsibilities, but you have opportunities to step outside the bounds of what your role might entail at a more established company. All you have to do is ask. The potential to learn and grow is rich. Leadership is impressive and collaborative. Hard work is expected but work-life balance is important to them and if you’re performing at or above expectations, you can enjoy a healthy balance. Boundaries are respected and I cannot overstate how refreshing and appreciated that is.
Kontras
It’s currently an in-office only company, but it makes sense while we’re the size we are and at the stage we’re in. Once we grow a bit more, I hope we can transition to a hybrid model. That’s it! I don’t even mind the trip to El Monte, that’s how great this place is.
