Pros
Team members I was pleasantly surprised by the capabilities of the team when I joined. Everyone is so different with their own skill sets there’s always something you can learn from each. In addition to that they are all awesome people. The culture and vibe is so relaxed and fun and that goes all the way up the company. Every new hire has somehow managed to raise the bar as well! Autonomy Always super important for me, you never want to feel that you are just turning the wheel of someone else’s processes. The nature of the work lends itself to being able to put your own stamp on whatever you are working on. In addition the transparency and openness means you get to use you ideas to help the company develop. Employee wellbeing The reason I left my last job was a lack of care for the employees well being. L Marks always make sure to put the employee first, whether that’s being flexible when they need it or even making a point to make sure people don’t work too long or too hard. There’s dedicated space to always thinking about how we can help provide whatever people need Overall Mostly it’s just fun. There’s a nice big picture that you’re working towards and you get to do interesting stuff with cool people and cool companies. But beyond that the people are great and the work/life balance is great and it’s a lot of fun a lot of the time
Cons
L Marks has been growing a lot and that doesn't come without growing pains. They're currently at a slightly awkward stage where the structure on the teams can be slightly unbalanced with a lot of direct reports into single points, but I know they are currently looking at it.
