Pros
My first 9 months at Change.org have stretched me in the best ways. I am working with the smartest people I have ever worked with in my career moving at an accelerated pace toward company goals I believe in. I am excited by and proud of the team I manage; we are given real opportunities for up-leveling our skills and contributing to the company vision. It is a joy to come to work every day. I feel taken care of as a human being and a parent; there is space to be me, to take care of my daughter, and still show up as a leader at this company.
Cons
Onboarding for my role was very challenging; there was not a clear prioritized list of new needs for my role or space to learn at first. As a manager it is my goal to make sure onboarding time is protected for everyone on my team and that they come in understanding prioritized needs from their role during week 1.
