Pros
- Best work culture I’ve ever been part of. Every person at Nectar I’ve interacted with practices what they preach. They’re all about recognizing people at their best, highlighting people’s strengths, and supporting their employees and peers through the day-to-day and more significant life challenges. Nectar is a very fun and rewarding place to work. - Feels like every employee is top-tier. Everyone does what they do so well, and there’s a lot of cooperation, mentorship, and celebrating each others’ wins. (I’m sure using our own product helps with that perception 😉) - Unlimited PTO, and they actually mean it. As long as you get your work done, take the time you want off. - Zero micro-management. There’s a lot of trust from leadership to accomplish what’s asked in your own way. - Hybrid schedule - in-office/remote as desired. Most people are in office 1-2 days a week - Really admire the leadership. They’re humble, scrappy, energetic, and believe in their product. - It’s a startup, which means they’re open to experimentation with tools, workflows, processes, etc. Fun to have a say in setting up their foundation.
Cons
- This is a pro and a con, but because it’s still a startup, leadership is still used to being involved in most aspects of the business. Pro because they’ve done an excellent job growing the company and keeping their overall mission in view and their message solid, but also a con because it’s hard to know who has the final say in some decisions. Confident this is a short-term challenge though. - Normal startup pains. Pay is decent, health & benefits is mediocre but they’re working hard to improve that. Still figuring out some HR policies as they grow - Not a con yet, but Nectar is growing fast, and I’m very curious to see how well culture scales.
