Vantaggi
The company is built around great people, and it's those people who've kept me around for so long and through the thick and thin. Whilst we haven't always gotten everything right, we have a motivated, positive team to keep pushing ahead. Everyone's willing to pitch in, and there's no shortage of people to collaborate with. There's also a focus on personal growth and self-development separate from just shooting for work-based goals. While those are important too, there are guest speakers from all walks of life who are brought in regularly alongside the promotion of flexible working and self-care. While we're motivated by our jobs & roles, it's encouraging to feel like it doesn't completely define my identity. Losses are acknowledged, not only the wins. There's no sugar-coating the realities of building a company and breaking ground in a new space. It's tough but engaging, and often really rewarding work.
Svantaggi
It's difficult for any company to grow fast and well, and CreativeX is no exception. This means that things happen quickly and at times pretty suddenly or unexpectedly. Firefighting can sometimes feel like the default mode, and working that way can be stressful or daunting for people who aren't used to it or prepared to work in that environment. In being so reactive, and with so much going on some blind spots had built up and in the past, not all were addressed as soon as they should have been. As time's gone on though, each of those have become a learning experience for all teams and is something that company is striving to improve upon for everyone.
