Pros
I was brought onto the team just a couple of months ago when the company relocated from Boston to Denver. From day one I realized that this startup isn't a "fake it til you make it" type of company. A lot of time and energy has been spent on ensuring consistent and scalable processes are established so that the product will be developed to meet the high standards and expectations of the future customers. So, what have I learned so far? 1. The hiring process is tough...this company is very choosy about who it brings in. The employee has to have the potential/upside to meet the expectations of the role, but also has to come in with the right capacities to be a good fit in the role and in the culture established at the company 2. The company is set up to grow significantly 3. Focus has shifted from a prototyping mindset to a production mindset 4. Company policies have been established to support employee ownership and decision making at the lowest levels 5. The unlimited PTO policy is not just lip service. They believe time off and a work/life balance is good for the wellbeing of the employees and the company 6. The environment is relaxed and collaborative. 7. The entire team fully believes in the mission of the company and the safety-conscious option that the product offers
Kontras
My biggest con so far is the commute to Broomfield from my house. But this has been mitigated by flexible hours to avoid traffic and the opportunity to work from home as needed
