Pros

Order Desk is a lovely place to work. Some of the pros include: 1. Caring/engaged management that puts employees at the center of all company policy. 2. Great work/life balance. We have an unlimited number of vacation days and the company makes a point of ensuring each person has enough time away from work. Not to mention, the company is fully remote. 3. Order Desk is growing at a fast pace which means there's lots of opportunities for growth. 4. Great compensation above the global average. 5. Company retreats where we get to all meet up in person. This helps foster camaraderie through physical meet ups, which would otherwise be difficult to do for a fully remote team. 6. Very diverse team with members from all across the globe. Minority/disadvantaged groups are well represented and encouraged to be themselves at work. For example, the company is a conducive environment for women in tech and there are a number of employees who openly identify as LGBTQ+.

Cons

There honestly aren't any cons that I could think of. Order Desk is a tech app which is highly customizable which means it's very complex thus it takes a few months for employees working directly with the app to gain proficiency in it. This could be a challenge for new employees, but the company has a robust onboarding program to help everyone get up to speed as soon as possible.

Pros

Order Desk lives and breathes its company values from the top down. The leadership team radiates empathy and generosity, the engineers are constantly offering tips and pointers to support, and the support team treats customers like real people. Balance is encouraged, so much so that if someone hasn't taken enough time off, they'll be "kicked out" for a few days to get some sunlight, and mental health days are commonplace. We do our best work when we're filled up, and from my experience, the company is REALLY filled up. Personal and professional growth is also both encouraged and facilitated. Order Desk has given many people opportunities beyond their professional experience and education and watched each person rise to exceed the challenge. If I had worked anywhere else, it would have taken me many years to end up on the growth track that I've pursued here. Order Desk also proves daily that they value input and collaboration. I've seen new features get built in 15 minutes after a customer or team member suggests one. I've never seen anything like it before, and it happens more often than I'd expect here. I've been on meetings where most of the participants were either kids or dogs, played games with people quite literally on the other side of the world, and shared meals with people who felt more like family than people I see in person once a year. Culture is managed exceptionally here. Speaking of which, getting to work with so many diverse people from so many parts of the world has been so culturally fascinating to me. I've learned so much about the world and met so many incredible, intelligent people thanks to the company's investment in changing people's lives.

Cons

When a company is bootstrapped, certain seasons can be more of a grind than others, but the tradeoff is that without investors, you get a lot more freedom to make your own choices. The health benefits are comparable to those of a much smaller company, which can be attributed to the speed of our growth. Company leadership has made it evident that they're actively working on exploring new options that match our current needs.

Pros

Such an amazing company culture. Everyone is so respectful, kind, and friendly. Even though this is a fully remote position we are all very connected, I'd even go so far as to say more so than an in-person work environment. You'll never feel embarrassed to ask for help here and everyone is more than happy to answer a "silly" question, in fact, you'll find the founder answering said questions regularly! The work/life balance is amazing and you are encouraged to take rest when needed. I feel very lucky to work with such a great team!

Cons

If you don't like gifs, memes, puns, or Harry Potter then you'll hate it here!
