Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, room for growth, nice colleagues. Hang around long enough and you'll become a 'director'.

Cons

Uninspiring CEO. Lack of direction. No HR support. Tiring, clichéd, startup culture. They also only people under 35 years old to fit with their 'culture'.

Hi there, we value all feedback from current and past employees so that we can continue to improve as a company We’d like to take the opportunity to clarify a couple of things: - Promotion and growth in HeyOrca are not dependent on years of tenure but on merit. - At HeyOrca, we believe in supporting and growing leaders internally. Some of the ways we do this are by providing support through formalized training and providing opportunities for role changes that align with the employee's growth aspirations and interests. - Since 2019, we have been working with an independent HR firm for HR support and training for leaders and employees in the company. HR support is available to our employees at any time. -Diversity and inclusion is important to us and we strive to hire people from diverse backgrounds. Though we still have room to improve in this area, we are proud of the number of minorities in the company and women in leadership positions. We thank you again for your past contributions to the company and wish you all the best in everything that you do.

Pros

HeyOrca is definitely a spot where no 2 days are the same! If you're looking for a challenge and an opportunity to grow - this is the perfect place for you. Roles & responsibilities are not defined by their job postings and regularly evolve based on the ever-changing needs of the business. HeyOrca is growing fast and so what is required of the team changes quickly, allowing for plenty of learning and professional growth. HeyOrca being a startup with loose job descriptions and constantly evolving needs attracts a certain breed of people. You're surrounded by extremely driven, passionate, and intelligent individuals - day in and day out. This pushes you to continuously improve, which is a value of everyone on the team. There are many things that make HeyOrca a unique and amazing place to work, but the opportunity to learn and grow is chief among them.

Cons

While I personally consider the lack of structure and very fast pace a pro, others may definitely find it a con. A startup environment is not for everybody and not having a manager prescribe what you do from 9-5 can definitely be a little stressful for the average employee. The management team is definitely young and lacks experience, which can lead to some frustration, but they are committed to continuous improvement. Overall, the experience is a work in progress and everyone is involved in shaping that experience.
