Best job ever - Anonymous employee Blackbird Ventures Employee Review

The job ads say it all: "We believe that building a diverse and inclusive team is critical to Blackbird’s success. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status. We use Applied to ensure every applicant gets an equal chance of success. Our December 2020 Culture Amp engagement score was 93. We offer: Flexible working: Whether it’s working from home or leaving early to pick up the kids from daycare or school. Generous parental leave: We know family comes first and we are proud to offer generous parental leave — 16 weeks for primary carer and 6 weeks for a secondary carer, subject to a 12 month minimum tenure. This includes a continuation of super payments while on unpaid parental leave and a supportive return-to-work policy. Learning & Development: Our team is hungry to continuously learn and you’ll receive a budget to spend on whatever you’d like to learn — from coding courses to meditation. Unplugged weekends: We work hard without letting work get in the way of life. We’ve implemented no Slack or emails on weekends, so you can switch off. Sharing in Blackbird’s success: We think it is important to share successes with the whole team. All Blackbird employees receive carry in our funds and are the equivalent of owners in the management company."

There aren't any that I can think of.

Amazing colleagues who are inspiring and push you to be your best. Incredible mission to build the ANZ ecosystem of startups and tech. Great track record and reputation and the constant care to invest in the community. Awesome portfolio provides a great extended family to the company.

There are often a lot of things going on at once and you need to be good at working efficiently and multitasking. We work hard.
