Thanks for your feedback! Company culture is incredibly important to us. Hiring top performers is important, but it comes secondary to being comfortable being ourselves around the people we work with. So yes, we look for capable, innovative and intelligent, but we need to have people who are collaborative, empathetic and as you put it, "nice", as well!
Opportunities for growth are an important part of any company culture and our People Team has done a great job over the past couple of years building job architectures so that people have a roadmap for their professional development.
Another thing that NetBrain does well is flexibility. Almost all of our employees are remote or hybrid with at least some days working from home. NetBrain expects people to be professional and accountable for their responsibilities, but with that comes the ability to take care of your family and your own physical and mental well-being. Our CEO and Founder, Lingping Gao, has always preached self-care and physical well-being.
I've heard many employees reference times where they may put in some extra time as needed, but that they also have times where they're able to log off and step away to go for a walk or take a kid to a practice or doctors appointment as needed during business hours. All-in-all, the hours should balance themselves out as work-life balance and self-care are extremely important.
If you feel like the work-life seesaw has a large boulder sitting on the work side, please don't keep it to yourself! Talk to your manager for tips on strategies for how you can budget time to stay on top of your tasks without needing to consistently work extra time to accomplish that. If they're unable to help or unable to redistribute any work, talk to the People Team Business Partner who also may be able to provide insight on prioritization, strategies for productivity and efficiency, and if all else fails and the workload is just too big, they can work with hiring managers and department leadership to find a solution.
Thanks again for your feedback!
