Pros
So far, YipitData has been the best career move I have made in my 10+ years of working. My department, in particular, has nothing but the most supportive individuals, who I am truly honored and appreciate having as my colleagues. Everyone else within the company has been very respectful, kind and helpful (especially since I am still rather new). The benefits are superior to any company I've ever worked at as well. Unlimited time off, decent salary, ability to set your own working hours depending on how you work best, all of the major holidays off, etc. There was a variety of healthcare plans to choose from as well. Having the ability to work remotely is a massive benefit coming from someone who used to spend 2.5 hours commuting to the city every day. YipitData has a very inclusive culture as well, and I can appreciate the level of transparency and ownership. The company really wants you to take pride in your work and make an impact. YipitData has a very fast-paced work environment (which I personally don't find as a downside); however, it can be difficult striking the perfect work-life balance at first. The first few weeks and months were quite challenging for me because the atmosphere, processes, technology/software were all new to me. However, everyone at the company is there to help you out, make you feel welcomed and ease any anxiety you may have about starting in your new position.
Kontras
As mentioned above, striking the perfect work-life balance can be a challenge. Since employees can choose their desired working hours, it can be difficult getting tasks completed since you could be waiting on others in different timezones.
