Pros
I love my colleagues, my work, the professional growth, and the high expectations at Metric Collective. At Metric, I work with intelligent, creative colleagues who crave the autonomy and opportunity to do the best work of their lives and grow rapidly, while working in a balanced environment that encourages them to invest in their individual passions and interests. -Uncommonly high expectations -- people are here to be challenged and produce tremendous work that directly impacts the company -Experimentation, iteration, independent thinking, and calculated risks are encouraged; make-believe business models, tech hype, and startup buzzwords are not -Given the people you're surrounded by, it's almost impossible to avoid learning something new everyday. Office conversations can range from the relative merits of various tech stacks, to improv comedy technique, to email subject line testing, to pop trivia, to product strategy, to tales of recent international travel, and just about everything in between -Training on topics like performance marketing, negotiation frameworks, how to interview candidates, pricing strategy, personal programming projects, and more are open to all team members, regardless of department -This is in the context of a profitable, fast-growing technology company that's kept up its stringent hiring standards despite the quickly expanding team
Cons
Minimal structure and zero micromanagement -- everyone is entrusted with astonishing autonomy and responsibility, which can be intimidating and disorienting if you're accustomed to waiting for someone to tell you how you should spend your workdays
