Pros
If you're looking for a supportive environment where you'll not only have the opportunity to utilize your talents but also grow them alongside an exceptional team, Altruist is a great place to work. The CEO and team operate with heart and are fully committed to making a meaningful impact. A rarity - the Founder and CEO is present and leads but doesn't micromanage. He trusts his team to take initiative and complete their projects. He is focused on leading as well as mentoring and fostering an environment where individuals can grow and thrive professionally. If you value collaborating with a CEO who embodies entrepreneurship - authenticity - and communicates directly - you'll enjoy working for Altruist. The team is comprised of brilliant individuals who bring a diverse set of skills and talents to the table and warmly welcome all team members to contribute in a meaningful way. As a person who has worked in the nonprofit sector for years in a variety of settings - I find this environment to be refreshing. Feedback and open communication are not only listened to but encouraged by the CEO and my other team members. It's challenging to find a company that invests in your professional development on a regular basis. From the beginning - I was encouraged to lean into any projects that interested me - even if they were outside the scope of my role. The environment is also flexible - accommodating your bandwidth and avoiding a pressure-cooker environment.
Cons
The company is working on scaling up but you'll realize quickly that Altruist has limitless potential and is on the path to greatness.
