Pros
Anchore is a rare gem in the tech startup world. The co-founders (CEO and CTO) have structured and methodically built this company from the ground up with the clear goal of growing to become a sustaining, independent company, rather than getting it off the ground enough to make a quick sale to someone else and then go on to the next thing. It's really nice to have that transparency as an employee and know that everyone is working towards that common goal.
Our executives genuinely care about our employees (embodied in our values of kindness, openness, and accountability) and want them to grow both professionally and personally. Our jobs are incredibly challenging and our leadership support is incomparable to any company I've worked for (and I've been everywhere from some of the top names in tech to mid-size startups).
Employee development is already a top priority for the executive team, proven in their decision to hire me to to build out our learning and development and diversity and inclusion initiatives so that development and inclusion are at the foundation of who we are as a company as we continue to scale. In most companies roles like mine don't get brought in until the company is a few hundred people strong. This again speaks volumes to the leadership of Anchore and what they are here to build.
Cons
It is a true startup where you wear many hats and don't have all of the glamorous office perks like bigger companies with ping pong tables and beer on tap, etc. If those are things that really matter to you, then this isn't the company for you.
