Team-oriented but still highly competetive

Pros

I love my team. I strategize with them daily. There are no dumb questions. People are not afraid to share their ideas and what has worked well. I am growing here professionally and as a person because of the super smart, competitive and team-oriented colleagues with whom I work.

Cons

Glassdoor is growing fast which is good and difficult simultaneously. I would like to see better training after our introductory new-hire class (a class that is geared towards all department new-hires). Moving into a new position, it's difficult to know what questions to ask. Better training would help prevent costly mistakes as a new-hire ramps. Playing devils advocate, this current set up really does foster the motivated, driven individual to take matters into their own hands and act to have a positive impact.

Pros

Amazing people and culture. Everyone at the company is incredibly helpful, outgoing and an overall team player. I trust those around me to do the right thing and get the job done at all times. There's also loads of opportunity to be had and the freedom to try new approaches to things. I also appreciate the awesome level of collaboration we have across teams (marketing, sales, PR, recruitment, etc.). Our CEO is remarkable and his passion for the company and candidness with employees furthers everyone's belief in / support of our mission.

Cons

We definitely are experiencing some growing pains. As we get bigger, certain systems need to be put in place to compensate for folks being stretched too thin or not enough. It's especially difficult in positions where there is only one person in the function. Many folks may see a single role in multiple lights and it's hard to live up to everyone's expectations and deliver on the amount of requests that come through.
