Pros
- The CEO seems to have a clear vision for the future of the company - Senior executive team members are smart and driven. They just need to find their marketing counterpart. - Engineering and sales teams are knowledgeable and passionate about the work - Ability to work remotely
Cons
Immature managers - After giving my resignation, I was unable to have a proper handoff because I was met with the most ridiculous day-long temper tantrum, resulting in me having to limit all communication writing with this person during my two-week transition period. Witnessing that level of disrespect and immaturity further confirmed that severing ties with this company was the right decision. Lack of collaboration and professional growth - Because managers and colleagues are junior, they rely heavily on more senior person/people on the team to help with the day-to-day duties and advise on strategy and best practices. This type of environment is not conducive to professional growth or development for the more senior individual and feels like you are giving more than you are receiving. Some team members won't take the initiative to learn the things they don't know or have experience with. Nice benefits package, but... - While the benefits and perks are great, I would give up some things in order to have a more collaborative environment where there's mutual respect among colleagues. I worked remotely and had to avoid and work around colleagues with negative attitudes. The disrespect by colleagues took its toll on me while working remote, so imagine what that feels like for someone working in the office everyday. A positive work environment is more important than unlimited snacks and Lyft credits.
