Pros

- Great team members and colleagues -Exec team directly engages - Good hiring process , focused on value alignment - Commitment to mission (goal of climate change mitigation and restoration) - Ability to grow in skills & professional development within a role.

Cons

These are growth challenges for a start-up, but I have seen consistent work from management to address of sitting stagnant: - Took a little while to get all team member health insurance, and was unbalanced between teams. But -this has now been addressed. - Opaque on pay & some aspects of job responsibilities , especially by position "type" or "level". Org structure in process, which may address. - Tight on facilities space as we grew quickly, this is improving now. -Hard to hand off / share responsibilities to create balance on small teams. But, cross training and hiring in progress.

Pros

- Career development is a HUGE plus here. Many opportunities to advance and grow with the company. - The workplace culture is fun, motivating, and upbeat. Everyone cares about one another, and is very mission driven. No slackers. It's an incredibly motivating place to work, and you are surrounded by supportive, fun coworkers. It makes coming into work enjoyable. - Spend lots of time outdoors. With trees of course. And drones. - You get to be a part of a scalable, impactful solution in the fight against climate change that will impact our future generations. It's rewarding, and again, a huge motivator. - Supportive telecommuting policy. - Great leadership. I trust that they our leadership team is steering the company in the right direction. They are also transparent when giving company updates, and frequently communicate these updates with the company. - Unlimited PTO during the off seasons. For someone that likes to travel, this is an amazing perk. - Located in downtown Ballard. Can easily walk to get food/coffee, or stop by one of the many breweries after work.

Cons

- Hard work. Long hours. But it doesn't go unnoticed, and it's well worth it.
