Vantaggi
Mostly remote company with lots of opportunity to interact with executive leadership at the staff level. Fast growth provides opportunities to design and improve processes. Co-workers are passionate about their jobs and careers. Ability to be very hands on in many different parts of the accounting processes and also close interaction with the finance team. The CFO is very supportive and more than willing to help resolve any business challenges and is also very approachable and eager to mentor and coach those who ask.
Svantaggi
Priorities can change quite often and sometimes are forgotten to be communicated. It can be difficult to get responses to questions on any challenges (late meetings, no show meetings, no response to email/chat questions, etc.). Processes in place were extremely manual creating lots of opportunity for error, though there is a heavy focus to automate and update current processes. Witnessed several tense interactions between members of different teams over disagreements that made me uncomfortable but didn't cross any lines. The on-boarding process left a lot to be desired as I was not trained on my primary duties within the first month of employment. The first week or so was focused on assisting with the annual audit. Shortly after, a banking issue demanded the finance leadership's time and attention for another week or two. A lack of process documentation and access to data prevented self training. I know the on-boarding process has been revamped since I was hired and so is likely a smoother experience now.
