Pros
- You get a big say in crafting the direction of your career. Management really values having employees work on projects in which they have interest
- You learn a lot! One of the core values of the company is having employees continue to develop professionally, and it willing to put resources into that.
- Flexibility. You get a lot of say in how you want to work. Management also values employee's personal lives, and has general policies that allow work life to fit nicely next to any personal life.
- It's fun! It's a pretty tight community in the office, and it's celebrated to spend time socializing after work and during lunch. I'm good friends with many folks in the office.
Cons
- The loose structure in the office can sometimes a lot of responsibility on employees to know how to succeed/ contribute well to the company. Management doesn't always go out of their way to empower employees to do meaningful work.
- If you're someone who prefers going to work and really putting their nose to the grindstone and expects that same attitude from those around you , you'll be disappointed. People put in the hours and do great work, but it's more laid back.
- Company/ team vision can be unclear. You often have to go our of your way to figure out what success means in terms of your work.
- Startups have growing pains, and often have structural/ workflow issues that need to worked out, or fires to put out, and Caredash is no different!
- Compensation is competitive, especially when starting your career, but not fantastic.
