Pros
I've been working with this company for a couple of years now and continue to be very happy in my job. I consider myself lucky to be working for a company that practices what it preaches when it comes to company mission, values, and operating principles.
Every company claims to be the best place to work, but here are a few things that Nearside actually does, which makes it the best place to work for me:
- They actually value work/life balance. Everyone works incredibly hard and respects each other's time (and time off).
- They actually pay well. The benefits are actually really good.
- Leadership is actually great. Confident, experienced, respectful, transparent, and approachable.
- They actually care about things like mental health, well-being, and company culture.
- They actually care about their customers. At the end of the day, it is important to me that the company I work for is having a positive impact on people's lives.
- The employees are actually passionate about their work. It turns out that employees are generally happy and consistently motivated to produce quality work when you treat them well and pay them fairly. Mind-blowing, I know!
The list goes on but there are a few things off the top of my head. What a great experience it has been working here so far. Working for a company that actually cares about all of the above makes a world of difference.
Kontras
No major cons that I have experienced thus far. The company is relatively new and moves very quickly so timelines and priorities can change unexpectedly but that is pretty standard for a quickly growing startup.
