Pros
While working at Songbird, I never forgot my "why" for doing a job. Every family that I helped touched me in an unforgettable way. This role pushed me to grow and to constantly challenge myself. The pros:
- Mission Driven. The company really lives up to its value of always putting families and children first. I saw this in our day-to-day work.
- Great ownership. You get to play a big part in building a function in a company that's bringing life-changing care to many families. Here, you're able to contend with what you're truly capable of.
- Compassionate company culture. As a team, people support and care deeply about each other. I had a blast getting to know my teammates.
- Access to leadership. Founders are personally invested in the people they work with and ready to help you grow. You can always get 1-on-1 time, message them questions, and give feedback.
Cons
The cons:
- The company is scaling quickly, and there are some growing pains. Sometimes, there will be longer hours.
- Things aren't always defined like it is at big companies. You have to be comfortable experimenting and learning through ambiguity.
