Pros
-Wonderful, incredibly talented group of people with unique personalities. It's a pleasure interacting with my coworkers every day. -Intrinsic motivation: our service is truly helping people, sometimes in huge ways; and we know it can still be so much better, and believe we can make it so. I want to do my job. -Open culture: I feel free to be myself, and mostly free to voice concerns. I feel this way because other people, at all levels, are actively voicing their concerns all the time. I can't overstate how great this is. -Work/life balance is excellent. Managers take time off; employees encourage each other to have a life outside work. -We have fun!
Kontras
-We have our fair share of politics, i.e. strategic internal maneuvering; I think this just comes with having a concentration of ambitious people. Our leaders at the top do a good job of diffusing this, though; as does our open culture. -Communication could be better. For example, hiring decisions on my team are poorly communicated.
