Pros

When someone asks me about my job, I generally go on about how much I like it. For context, I have been working in sustainability for over a decade in multiple organisations and my job satisfaction has been both high and low in the past. That doesn't mean this role is always perfect, but below is a list of things I like: - The company is fast growing and there are lots of opportunities - A lot of autonomy and trust is given to our team (flat structure) - Line manager is excellent in their role, but also as a people manager - The product itself is good by industry standards - The work is challenging - The breadth of cr360's coverage (CSR, EHS, compliance, risk, supply chain etc.) - Founders care about the product and the company - The product is evolving as the company grows so there is always something new to learn. - Lots of the staff are great both professionally and socially. The culture is very friendly and welcoming with plenty of opportunities for socialising. - Great client base covering diverse sectors and geographies, which means dealing with interesting people and plenty of international work.

Cons

Quick growth comes with growing pains and we are currently putting more processes in place. This is necessary and it is improving the company, but it does take additional time and effort away from people's day jobs (although that is pretty standard when there is a lot of growth or change in any organisation). While there is a useful intranet and some decent systems, there are still gaps and room for improvement on our knowledge sharing. The workload is occasionally quite demanding (because of client deadlines, not cr360 policies) but this is probably the norm for most jobs that are challenging enough to enjoy.

Pros

cr360 works in an interesting space - sustainability & EHS data management is still a comparatively new field which holds a lot of intellectual and ethical interests. Many roles in the company involve direct client interactions and the client base is so diverse in terms of geographies and industries, and includes some large and complex companies. This means regularly liaising with the Sustainability/EHS departments of our clients, and genuinely helping them make a difference. The overriding culture in the business is quite entrepreneurial, in that people with good ideas have the freedom to share them and ultimately to change things. There aren't too many layers of management to get in the way of progress. I started in a junior role and within two years was in a senior management role. This culture also acts as a filter of sorts. Some people find the lack of structure in some areas difficult to work with, but those who can adapt to a bit of ambiguity tend to do well and grow with the company. I honestly feel I'm working with my peers most of the time - it's a predominantly intelligent and dynamic team of people. The software really is great. You often see competitor software at trade shows or when you're replacing an existing system for a client and it's reassuring to know that what we offer is one of the market leaders for good reason.

Cons

Growing so quickly has come with some problems. Sometimes processes are applied as a 'silver bullet' solution but then are just as quickly ignored or changed as they weren't really applicable in the first place. We also lack some strong leaders/managers in some areas of the business which means not all teams have matured and evolved as quickly as others. Under the strain of rapid growth this often causes some pretty classic inter-departmental tensions, but most people are rational enough to resolve such issues reasonably quickly.

Pros

cr360 is a fast growing, exciting company to work for. The Sustainability, EHS and Supply Chain, software solutions we provide are second to none in our industry. I have worked for several software companies(including some of my current competitors) during my long career and cr360 is by far the best company and product. The senior management staff at cr360 is always willing to listen to and consider new ideas and approaches. The management team goes out of its way provide employees the opportunity for growth and to gain experience in areas where they can succeed. The communication both internally and externally at cr360 is far better than my previous employers. cr360 also listens to it's clients and the marketplace when it comes to new features for the software. The overall goal is to provide a configurable product that can wrap around the clients processes while not forcing the customer to change the way they conduct their business. I truly feel that this is an excellent place to work with a very strong management team.

Cons

There are no cons here at cr360. You can make your own path and succeed.
