Pros

The co-founders aren't like any other tech start-up leaders I've ever met. They actually care about you as a person, and the balance you seek so that you're able to put your best foot forward. By far the most caring leaders I've ever worked with -- and this is consistent in their people practices as well. This start-up is still at the stage where we feel like a family, which is nice. I looked for this specifically when job searching. You truly get to OWN what you do. This comes with cons if you aren't confident in what you're doing (i.e. you don't get to hide behind anyone because you will always be held accountable) - but to me, that's exciting. You have the ability to explore and be creative and try new things here. We get 2 weeks off during the holidays!!

Cons

We all work remotely (we always have) and can be tough working across east coast/west coast timezones and without the ability to meet in person as often as we'd like. You also definitely need to make sure that you are resilient in a start-up environment. Things can change quite quickly and the ability to roll with the punches will be incredibly valuable.

Cons

CEO does not know what they're doing and has her hand in every aspect of the org. Impossible to do your job

Pros

StoryTap is in such a growth mode right now -- it's perfect for those who really want to make their mark and to feel valued. I had left my previous organization specifically for this. They really care about how you feel, what you think, and most of all, they WANT your input. It was a drastic change for me to go from feeling like a cog in a wheel in the previous job...to being a core part of this team. The co-founders are amazing, extremely approachable, and love the sincerity that comes from them. Not hierarchical at all. People are open, kind, and work hard to get things done. A big plus is that I get to learn all facets of the business as well, and not just my own role / department. Great for learning.

Cons

Not too much I can think of; it's been hard working from home to connect as much as I'd like to amid the COVID19 pandemic, but I know this will improve soon as we get to meet others on our team in person finally. I'd say that if you're the kind of person who doesn't do well with change, can't roll with the punches, doesn't like to learn new technology or get to know things outside of your role, this place won't be your jam.
