Vantaggi
In my role, I work one on one with the CEO. I want to stress what a inspirational leader he is. It is a lot of hard work, but whenever I feel overwhelmed, Ron is supportive helping me strike a good work/life balance. He has an 'open-door' policy that many CEOs wouldn't even consider, where any employee can talk to him about issues they are having, which is great and truly lives up to the openness and transparency value.
The people I work with are amazing, and I count many of then as close friends. Being surrounded by such positive energy and brilliant people from such diverse backgrounds makes me excited to come to work everyday. I enjoy spending time with them in the office, but also love our excursions to Santa Cruz to surf or going on coffee runs.
We have cool perks and a fun culture. Part of my job is planning company events like picnics (we have the best griller!) and company movie nights. We also always have a plethora of yummy and healthy snacks. One of my favorite perks is the subsidized gym membership. It's great to take a break to go work out and come back to the office feeling energized.
Svantaggi
-Not enough office space...we are constantly having to conduct interviews outside or taking calls in the hallway.
-Good communication can often be an issue in a fast-paced environment.
-Personally, I'm not a fan of the open office space. I find that I often get distracted.
