Pros
I joined Springboard almost a year ago and it's the best job I've ever had. Managers get extensive training on how to approach professional development and I've never felt so supported or motivated to grow. The people I work with are intellectually curious, thoughtful, and kind. I always forget I've never even been to the office due to COVID because of how lively and inclusive the culture is even over Zoom and Slack Work life balance is wonderful and we even close one Friday a month for a wellness day and encourage everyone to unplug and step away. I have really appreciated this!
Kontras
My biggest challenge comes when the company wants the US and Bangalore teams to act as one. In reality, we have very different functions, communication styles, and work on polar opposite hours. At some point, leadership will need to accept that these two offices should work autonomously and independently from one another. It's too hard to collaborate when someone in the group was majorly inconvenienced by doing a 7am or 9pm meeting.
