Pros

Full remote option Casual/open communication

Cons

- Complete disorganization - Nobody knows what anyone does - Zero structure in training new employees - Ego from senior employees not wanting to do their mandated assigned work from HR to even introduce themselves to new employees - Quality of work is not a priority, clicking their timesheets are. - Not a collaboration focused company - Several months in and I still couldn't find out if I had a manager or not - Manager not knowing how to be a manager, schedules a 30 minute call with you once a month so they can write notes on your frustrations and then do nothing - This is your typical buddy-buddy startup, if you're not already friends/in the inner circle, expect to be treated like a second class citizen

Pros

Effectual is a company that truly lives by its core values. The "can do" attitude is ingrained in every aspect of the company culture, and challenges are viewed as opportunities to grow and innovate. There’s a constant focus on embracing change, especially with technology, making it an exciting place to work for anyone who enjoys staying on the cutting edge. The leadership emphasizes acting with integrity—decisions are always made with the best interests of both customers and employees in mind. What really stands out is how Effectual cares about the wellness of its employees. They sponsor health challenges with great rewards, encouraging a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, they foster a culture of continuous learning, which keeps employees growing both personally and professionally. Effectual also encourages continuous improvement. "Good enough" is never the benchmark, and there’s always an opportunity to push boundaries and strive for excellence. The overall environment is supportive, collaborative, and filled with people who are genuinely committed to doing great work.

Cons

As with any fast-paced company, the constant push for excellence and embracing change can be challenging for those who prefer a more predictable, routine environment. If you thrive on challenges and adaptability, you'll fit in perfectly.
