Pros

The office has a pretty relaxed culture, with an office Segway, massage chair, and video games, and working here doesn't have you feeling stressed out at the end of each day. Everyone's very supportive of each other and get along really well, and there are fun office-wide activities fairly regularly. The office gets food catered twice a week, and sometimes more often than that, and the company has two annual trips (including a ski trip) for all of its employees. Something I particularly like about the analyst position is that there are many different types of roles in the analyst team depending on where your interests and strengths lie, and the management has encouraged me to look for professional development opportunities (courses or conferences) that can help develop my skills in the direction I'm interested in.

Cons

You probably need to be a pretty self-motivated person to be able to be effective here, since you'll be given plenty of space to work the way you want, which can either work for you or against you. You do also deal with some of the standard cons to start-ups in general, since your salary may be lower for the same position than it would at a larger company, and you'll have less mobility if you want to live in new places but still want to work for the same company.

Pros

- You get a big say in crafting the direction of your career. Management really values having employees work on projects in which they have interest - You learn a lot! One of the core values of the company is having employees continue to develop professionally, and it willing to put resources into that. - Flexibility. You get a lot of say in how you want to work. Management also values employee's personal lives, and has general policies that allow work life to fit nicely next to any personal life. - It's fun! It's a pretty tight community in the office, and it's celebrated to spend time socializing after work and during lunch. I'm good friends with many folks in the office.

Cons

- The loose structure in the office can sometimes a lot of responsibility on employees to know how to succeed/ contribute well to the company. Management doesn't always go out of their way to empower employees to do meaningful work. - If you're someone who prefers going to work and really putting their nose to the grindstone and expects that same attitude from those around you , you'll be disappointed. People put in the hours and do great work, but it's more laid back. - Company/ team vision can be unclear. You often have to go our of your way to figure out what success means in terms of your work. - Startups have growing pains, and often have structural/ workflow issues that need to worked out, or fires to put out, and Caredash is no different! - Compensation is competitive, especially when starting your career, but not fantastic.
