Pros
Growth is highly valued. A lot of companies say that, but LeanLaw lives it by encouraging people to propose ideas and projects, ask questions, coach each other on product and technical knowledge, and pursue courses that empower them in their roles. I’ve gained so many skills and gotten to take on so many challenges while working here.
The people who work here are friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. Combined with the growth mentality, you get a company full of people who are happy to hop on a huddle and walk someone through something they don’t know or troubleshoot problems. I’ve never worked with a better group.
Fully remote work supports a very healthy work-life balance. Sometimes I'll tell myself, “Let me just finish this other thing and then I’ll call it a day” and then I’ll look up and it’s 7pm. But, aside from that, I absolutely love the 0 minute commute time, the flexibility to make appointments for healthcare, and the ability to travel while working.
Cons
Constant growth cuts both ways as new tools are constantly being learned and discarded, responsibilities shifted, and SOPs changed. It can get stressful, and it's not for everyone.
Pure remote work can be difficult for people who gain joy out of hanging out with coworkers, or who struggle with self-starting. I don’t consider it a con, but I list it here because I’ve worked with a few people who couldn’t find their momentum because of it.
