Pros

City Innovate has great management that trusts in their employees to do their jobs. There is no micromanagement and employees can expect their managers to ask "how do we support you" rather than "I need you to ...". City Innovate gives their employees a safe space to offer new ideas an innovation.

Cons

City Innovate is a startup environment through and through and sometimes there is a need to wear many hats.

Pros

This is a company built on trust: Leadership trusts their employees. There is tremendous trust built w between City Innovate and its customers. Teams internally trust in one another. And everyone is building something greater than the sum of the parts. It’s an inspiring mission and great culture to be a part of. Trust, autonomy, challenge, creativity.

Cons

There’s so much opportunity it can be difficult to zoom out and see (and set) the grand plan at times. You’ll need to have a firm sense of direction and intention to excel. Not for anyone looking for a career where the playbook is already written.

Pros

- They offer very fair and attractive compensation and benefits - Great team members

Cons

- Unclear vision for the product, customer strategy, QBRs. etc. - Its like talking to a wall with management. Instead of getting in the weeds with their team to solve issues, they prefer to go back to the drawing board as executives and try to devise a cure all that never works. When you come to them for insight and advice, seldom do you receive anything of actual use / substance. - They will throw you in the deep end with little to no preparation, and if you fail, throw you under the bus when it doesn't work out. - As someone who has taken the customer-first approach in my previous roles, that's not the case here. Feedback is very often given but it's either put on the back-burner or thrown into a void. - You're shut off from a lot of other departments which is strange for a start-up, because usually collaboration is crucial. Everyone operates on their own island.
