Advice to Management

Let people do their pace and plant seeds.

Pros

Everybody puts in the least amount of time to pay for the bills while they try to have a side hustle. The place serves like a good stepping stone. Most people at this company have something they have on the side that they care about more instead.

Pros

Very easy work. Good benefits and good work life balance.

Advice to Management

Celebrate the good things about your employees instead of constant criticisms.

Pros

- Everyone has the opportunity to work autonomously while gaining experience across the company, broadening individual experience.
- Those who are hungry to learn and grow, do so. Those who are not, do not.
- There is no tenure-based expectation for advancement, it's entirely performance-based, which is how it should be.
- The expectation for everyone is to challenge the norm and find better, more efficient, cost-effective ways of doing things.
- If this isn't how you're wired, then it's not a fit. If it is, you'll see the difference and grow your knowledge and skills faster than at most other companies.
- Other notables include extreme flexibility with schedule / work-life balance, awesome peers, and a pretty cool office.

Advice to Management

Onward. We're on the right path.

Pros

Leaders in the company (both the leadership team and front-line managers) treat people like people (and not like a 'resource'). There is trust that people can effectively work from home if they need to (and its not a big deal)

It seems that every department has a number of interesting things that they are working on.

EOS as an operating framework has really helped increase focus over the past 12 months. There were some early growing pains (which were expected) and its great to see some fruit start to ripen.

Open concept office that actually works (because there are literally 15 different conference rooms that can be reserved as-needed)

Advice to Management

Move faster on EOS, especially the vision component.

Pros

Easy 9-5 job environment. Young people, experimental ideas and culture, but very inexperienced teams.

Pros

Everyone is very collaborative and open to ideas. Can chat with anyone you need, which is a big pro of a smaller company. Company meetings every week help keep everyone in the know and on the same page. High expectations in a relaxed atmosphere. Also a lot of flexibility which is great for a work life balance.

Pros

My team's managers are great. They understand that when their employees are thriving and working in a manner that's best for them, the company also thrives and is successful. We are not micromanaged, and we are given the opportunity to work flexible schedules and work from home as needed.

Attire is casual.

The company provides free lunch on Wednesdays, and the fridges and pantries are also stocked with good beverages and snacks.

During the summer, the entire company gets to work from home on Fridays.

Location in River North is fantastic.

Advice to Management

I realize that no workplace is perfect. That said, I think that our salaries could be a bit higher, but the fact that our managers trust us and allow us flexibility in our schedules definitely makes up for that.

Pros

laid back and welcoming atmosphere, ability to work at home if needed, the company provides lunch every Wednesday, free healthy snacks

Advice to Management

better communication
