    Great place to work

    Mar 7, 2023 - UX Design Director in New York, NY
    Recommend

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The people are so kind, respectful, and genuine. People show care for their projects and coworkers. They pay well and it’s fully remote. Your coworkers are all over the globe, which is fun, and depending on where you live this also means while your (remote) day starts early, it also ends early. They care a lot about accessibility and adherence to GDPR and other best practices. They are generous with giving opportunities to people to take on projects and get promoted. Great work life balance!

    Cons

    Because of the global nature of the products, there are more considerations than say a domestic startup, so projects can move slow.

    Pros

    The role of an executive assistant positions you to manage the executives agenda to ensure that they can use their time to focus on high-level business matters.

    Cons

    The role of an executive assistant requires a lot of work even exceeding work hours if the executive needs support or if there’s an emergency.
