Pros

When I first met the founding team I just had a good gut feeling about their values. I took a risk and left a stable job with a very large corporation, and decided to switch gears completely and take a role with Windsor Circle. I have been so blown away at the environment that Windsor Circle has created. This is truly a special team. There is trust on every level and an openness that I have not professionally experienced before. There is no such thing as office politics. There is no “politically correct” ways to communicate an idea, there are no cliques, there are no elephants in the room. It is truly an open culture of positivity. There have been times where things have been overwhelming or not quite efficient but everytime you attack obstacles there is someone asking to help and offering a positive outlook. I am continually surprised and amazed at this group of people. The leadership team are champions of the company values, team work being at the core. The leadership up through the CEO has shown time and time again how they are not afraid to push the envelope, allow mistakes and lead by example on things that they believe in. It is refreshing and inspiring. I could not be happier with my choice to take a risk and try a new career. This team is something else.

Cons

If you like structure, quiet, and a standard set of expectations, this may not be the place for you. This is a collaborative group but with large growth comes fast change and you have to be willing to be flexible and adaptable.

Thank you... It is a special team of people. I'm humbled on a daily basis by the level of talent and personality that we've attracted to our mission. It's very much a job of knocking down barriers and letting our Courageous Capybaras (you'll have to go read about the Not-So-Very-Sacred Orders) do their thing. In openness and transparency (windsorcircle.com/values), I think we do have some interoffice politics that result from the stress of trying to double and triple the business. Doing what we're doing is frickin' hard. But what excites me is that the team actively works on things like "Science of the Team" during our quarterly Team Day, and uses these capabilites and skills to offset or minimize the stressors that occur when people work hard on big problems. In our last session, we worked on "how to have difficult conversations" so that everyone was armed with best practices on how to do this. Read about it here: http://thenext10khours.com/2015/01/13/how-rockstar-leah-houde-executive-director-duke-ce-helps-execs-handle-difficult-conversations/ I think that this sort of thing is why our team routinely shares that there are no politics and that we're committed to teamwork. We are actively working to be the most cohesive team out there. So... there are some politics... but less so that in other places, and within a bunch of people who are committed to each other.
