Pros
Everyone at Artisan truly cares: about the company's mission to create positive change in the world of underground mining, about doing a great job and going above and beyond to ensure the company's success, and most importantly about each other. The entire staff is extremely dedicated and hard-working, focused on collaboration and teamwork. Working here means you get to wear a lot of hats and get things done, innovate, be creative, solve problems. There is very open and transparent communication in both directions, from employees to management and vice versa. I feel appreciated and supported as an individual. Upper management doesn't just say they care, I can tell they mean it. There is no office without politics, but from my perspective the office politics are as minimal as they can get. I am very happy to be a part of this organization.
Cons
Like in every other start-up company there are some growing pains and things the company can improve on, e. g. lack of processes and documentation, little standardized training during onboarding, etc. However, the leadership team actively seeks feedback from the employees on a regular basis and works on implementing more structure and improvements.
