Pros
- Impactful mission! As a former teacher, I feel grateful to work at a company making college more affordable to all students - Very smart, hardworking, and innovative team - Love the team - Inclusive and supportive culture - Encouraged to pursue professional development opportunities. I've been stretched a lot throughout my tenure at RaiseMe and it's pushed me to grow in ways I otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to at a bigger company - Small start up means you're often writing the playbook and just learning a ton as you go
Cons
Typical startup challenges: lots of great, creative ideas met with limited bandwidth, you have to get good at navigating ambiguity, and work/life balance is possible but can be hard to maintain when there are a lot of competing priorities
