Pros
I used to work at CircleUp and was consistently blown away by my impressive colleagues working towards the company’s mission to support early stage CPG entrepreneurs. As a member of one of the business teams, I felt as though I had the resources to learn technical concepts in order to properly make use of Helio, the company’s machine learning platform. And whenever I had questions for my engineering or data science teammates, they were incredibly patient, helpful, knowledgeable, and generous with their time. Across the various business teams, professionals consistently put the needs of entrepreneurs first and developed creative financing solutions to help support their growth. I made wonderful friends at circleup, and I look forward to watching this innovative and disruptive company continue to grow!
Cons
I loved getting to collaborate with engineers and data scientists, I think business and product team members should continue to collaborate in a formal capacity and learn from each other!
