Pros

Met a lot of great people on the team who are passionate about what they do. The clients were also fun to work with and the job provided a lot of cool opportunities to meet disruptors in the b2b/tech space. The benefits are impressive, too.

Cons

A subliminally toxic work environment that masquerades as a "we love our job" parade. If you don't post at least once a week on social media oversharing about how much you love your job and coworkers...you're in the dog house. Don't believe me? Check out their LinkedIn pages. Also, senior management (Bill, Will, Erik) will often take month-long "recharging breaks" and are prone to becoming upset when they return because returning to work after a month-long break can never be too fun (I can only assume).

Pros

Great colleagues. Strong culture. Supportive team. Collaborative through and through. Focus Lab puts its people first so they can put their best foot forward. And let me be more specific: For the past two years I've been the primary caretaker for a family member battling a host of health challenges — Focus Lab has given me the space, grace, and trust to be where I'm most needed, when I'm needed the most.

Cons

None, really. This has easily been the best place I've worked.

Pros

No job is "perfect" but Focus Lab is as close as I've ever gotten to my ideal job. You get to work with talented people who want to see each other succeed, you are valued by executives that prioritize the needs of their employees (aka real leaders!). At Focus Lab you're pushed to be the best you can be and are supported along the way—plus you get fantastic benefits on top of it all. Everywhere I've ever worked has boasted about prioritizing work-life balance but Focus Lab is the only company I've worked for that means it. You're given time to rest, you're not micromanaged, and the Slack banter is unrivaled.

Cons

If you're on a small team, things can inherently feel a little siloed and it takes a little more effort to get to know people in a remote environment. While there is ample room for professional growth, there is less room for role/title "advancement" (as is true of any smaller company).
