Amazing Culture of both Performance and Being Human - Recensione dipendente - Director of Business Development presso Connect First

Great environment environment and great people. You will be given the tools and support and to be successful in your position.

I honestly don't have any. Its been 4 months and I feel lucky to have landed here.

I worked as a consultant for Connect First before joining their motley crew watching some immense, business-altering (and culture redirection) interactions happen - hence a big reason why I joined. The good news is, each decision after August of 2016 was made with significant intention to address the known dysfunctions - gender bias included - and from that point forward made the right decisions to improve *everything*. A big part of that was manifesting change that comes from employee feedback, new leadership that is positive and pro-active, actions that honor the culture, and more transparency as to the roadmap of the future - particularly how everyone plays a part in getting there. They've since hired a variety of people that embody their dedication to change, from more diversity and equality in the workplace - to women in leadership, so that's really promising. Another Pro is that everyone cares about the well-being of everyone else. That core attribute of caring is a big driver in how they hire, too. No more self-serving individuals that are out on their own making decisions without the understanding of the affects on the rest of the company. Needless to say, progress is being made and the traction is significant.

Just the natural limitations that come from running lean, mean and wearing lots of hats. There are plans for great (big) things that are progressing along, but you definitely feel the occasional burst of work that can be overwhelming at moments, but nothing that doesn't resolve itself. Not really a con, but if you're not comfortable with quick (and lots of) change and thinking on your feet, this is probably not the right company for you.
