Culture, Mission, and Collaboration!
Pros
I have been working at Sparkfund full-time (Less than a year) - Will update at the end of the year. - Real focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion - with trainings, committees, and OKRs - Ownership of projects even as a newer team member - Policies and encouragement for advancement - career growth paths. - Being able to see the impact on our growth and company mission. - Working in energy field without constrains of "old school" industry style - A comprehensive onboarding process including training, and one on ones with different teams. - Easy to be yourself. - Flexibility / outcome driven.
Cons
- It's a startup, so the team, policies, and project priorities sometimes change quickly. Constant effort by management / team leaders to minimize disruption within the team, but just like most start ups there will be uncertainty, which could be stressful for some people - and a fun challenge for some other.
