Pros

Other co-workers were great. Office space was good to be in when needed. Okay benefits.

Cons

Primarily the CEO. They try to emphasis the whole 'we're a family' bit, but when push comes to shove this is not how they act. You will be pressured to work extra things or time that weren't in your agreed upon job description. CEO will say they are 'disappointed in you' when you don't follow through on their unreasonable ask. They don't know what they are doing when it comes to working with actual people and interpersonal issues. They do not have an in-house HR department. There is no one older with a large amount of experience in these things, it's a bunch of young adults grasping in the dark in something they have little to no experience in. Very unprofessional.

Pros

HeyOrca is definitely a spot where no 2 days are the same! If you're looking for a challenge and an opportunity to grow - this is the perfect place for you. Roles & responsibilities are not defined by their job postings and regularly evolve based on the ever-changing needs of the business. HeyOrca is growing fast and so what is required of the team changes quickly, allowing for plenty of learning and professional growth. HeyOrca being a startup with loose job descriptions and constantly evolving needs attracts a certain breed of people. You're surrounded by extremely driven, passionate, and intelligent individuals - day in and day out. This pushes you to continuously improve, which is a value of everyone on the team. There are many things that make HeyOrca a unique and amazing place to work, but the opportunity to learn and grow is chief among them.

Cons

While I personally consider the lack of structure and very fast pace a pro, others may definitely find it a con. A startup environment is not for everybody and not having a manager prescribe what you do from 9-5 can definitely be a little stressful for the average employee. The management team is definitely young and lacks experience, which can lead to some frustration, but they are committed to continuous improvement. Overall, the experience is a work in progress and everyone is involved in shaping that experience.
