I have been working at Scoro full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
-Work-life balance. At many start-ups, this can be a tough balance to strike, but this is possible at Scoro because we practice what we preach: being proactive instead of reactive by bringing structure to our work.
-Intelligent coworkers who love to share knowledge and bring humor to the day-to-day
-The above pro feeds a very collaborative environment where all voices are heard
-The opportunity to shape a growing, global company
-Social responsibility. Scoro routinely makes an effort to give back to the community, whether that be from the Tallinn office or from the global offices
-The opportunity to travel to Tallinn if you're in a remote office
-Great compensation
-Did I mentioned incredible co-workers?
-Scoro sends out a monthly "happiness index" so you have the opportunity to raise your voice on a regular basis and they take your feedback seriously.
Cons
-Health Insurance is pricey, but HR listens to feedback and is already working to improve this (an example of voices being heard)
-Sometimes it's tough to feel connected to HQ in a remote location, but HR is receptive to team building ideas and they do their best to make sure all locations have what they need.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing and listening to folks when they provide input! Having employees feel valued is what keeps retainment high! :)
Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Scoro (New York, NY) in November 2019.
Interview
5 rounds:
1) HR phone screen
2) Take-home assignment
3) Team lead interview
4) Onsite interview
5) CEO interview
6) Manager interview
The Scoro team is efficient, professional, and very kind. The interviews (and assignment) focused on culture fit, mock client scenarios, process creation/ optimization, personal client management style, and how I could potentially contribute to the company's strategic direction. Everyone made me feel comfortable -- as if there were no right or wrong answers. My questions were answered super quickly (despite the time difference), and next steps were scheduled within 1-2 business days. During the interviews, I was also given helpful info about the company, the team, and the role. Scoro had the most organized hiring process, compared to the other organizations where I interviewed.
Interview Questions
Although people in Scoro have been able to continue work from a distance – even hosting our first-ever virtual team event – we’ve all had to overcome some challenges and changes. That’s why we have decided to share some of our Scorer stories with you. Different people sharing insight on how they have adapted and what has changed for them.
