Pros

After many years in tech, joining CoLab has been a breath of fresh air. As a woman in tech who has faced more than my share of barriers, I've never felt as genuinely supported in my career growth and progression as I do here. The camaraderie is real. I work alongside people I truly trust and feel proud to be part of this team. The support and understanding I've received has been outstanding. I'm never made to feel guilty for taking time for myself, whether that's vacation, or stepping away to take care of myself or my family. The company is scaling, which means real opportunities to help shape the team and contribute to shared standards. Everyone brings their own perspective and it's genuinely valued. There's real space to make your mark.

Cons

Processes are still maturing and there are growing pains, but there's clear appetite to improve.

Pros

- Work life balance. It's been a painfully long time since I've been somewhere that I can actually ignore Slack on nights and weekends without feeling guilty. - Great team and everyone is super collaborative and supportive. It never feels like "I'm in it alone." Everyone is always willing to jump in and help each other. - The product has a clear roadmap and expectations. It feels like everyone knows what the "north star" we're all aiming toward is. - It's exciting to see the brands we bring on as customers and they all stay on long-term. It gives me confidence this is a real product that solves a real problem. - Low ego. People aren't afraid to ask questions at the risk of sounding unknowledgeable. It doesn't feel like folks are competing against one another to see who's better. This is a breath of fresh air for me personally.

Cons

- Normal startup growing pains. Processes are still being defined and sometimes projects feel messy. - Things can feel very reactive instead of proactive. Priorities suddenly shift without warning, causing folks to drop what they're doing. It causes a build up of half finished projects. - It feels like we're good at what we need to do this month and where we need to be 5 years from now. Everything in between is kinda messy.
