Vantaggi
This company has a truly valid reason for existing, (public good) that goes to the heart of how the entity exists legally as there are no investors and shareholders waiting for a payback. Beyond the company mission, which can be found elsewhere, the leadership is genuinely interested in creating an environment that maximizes what each employee brings and takes away from working with Somos. So high on the list is company culture, this company has the best culture I have ever seen. - Compensation is in line with the market and the benefits are good. - Career development is something the company is concerned with and has taken steps to address. - Company is growing and growing up, and leadership is deliberately taking steps to curate the evolution of the existing culture. - Great time to come-in to the company as it grows-up.
Svantaggi
The cons are really opportunities. The company is in the process of transitioning from a small business focused on specific functions into a larger entity with serious, perhaps global relevance as a provider of Trust Infrastructure and Information. This implies a change in the way things are done and the need to realign what previously done, which result in push-back.
