Pros

The growth opportunities here have been amazing. Along the way, I’ve been supported by great leaders and collaborated with truly incredible teams. The company invests in employee development through training, and real-world stretch opportunities. I especially value the trust and flexibility I’ve been given, and how leadership values employee well-being while still driving business results.

Cons

Like any fast-growing company, there’s a lot of change, and sometimes that is difficult. I’ve also found it comes with exciting opportunities to contribute and learn.
