Vantaggi
-- Work/Life balance: Staff at Computer Courage had a very consistent schedule, and there was never any expectation or pressure to work overtime or weekends, unless reasonably required for a specific project.
-- Owner (Adam): In my role at Computer Courage, I worked closely with Adam, the owner. This was a highlight of my time there, as Adam was incredibly supportive, encouraging of professional growth, and collaborative in project work. Furthermore, I believe his general approach to growing the business and working with customers had a large impact on the stability and health of the company and its staff.
-- Office perks: On a smaller note, it was great that the office supplied standing desks, and had snacks, drinks, etc. regularly available to staff.
Svantaggi
-- Ultimately, the biggest issue I ran into at Computer Courage was that my preferred career path did not end up matching the position I held. After more than a year, I decided to leave to pursue a different job type that was not offered at Computer Courage.
-- The office itself can be very quiet, and is not a very social environment day-to-day. A large part of this is due to the fact that the IT team is most often out in the field at appointments, and not in the office.
