Supportive culture overshadowed by stressful financial challenges
Pros
I loved the culture. The owner of the company is very self deprecating and they did a fantastic job of making you feel unafraid to make mistakes! I loved how the C-suite was so great at owning both their successes and faults.
Cons
They had some long-term debt management strategies that couldn't be saved by a declining housing market. It created a stressful cash flow environment that was extremely stressful and made it difficult to do my job as well as I would have liked. We could never get to a point where we could achieve goals and I could receive career advancing mentorship, because we were always putting out fires. They also have an open office environment for non managers with zero cube walls and I felt like I was in a fish bowl and it greatly affected my concentration.
