Pluspunten
1. Excellent professional development. Dispel does a great job of encouraging their employees to branch out, and grow. They make an active effort to get people involved with the projects that interest them, so that they can grow into the job that they want to do as much as possible. 2. Great work-life balance. While there is always more work to be done, I've never felt discouraged from utilizing Dispel's unlimited PTO, or taking time during the day to get in some exercise or run a personal errand. As long as I am getting to all my meetings, and getting my work done well, then I feel I have the freedom to balance work and life as I see fit. Also, fully remote, work from home is a huge plus. 3. Friendly team members/atmosphere. Everyone on the operations team is so friendly and willing to help. I always feel welcome and supported if I reach out for help. This is especially exemplified in the mistake-making culture. I have had my fair share of mistakes at Dispel, and witness even more, but I have never seen anyone be berated for a mistake. It's simple. We all come together to fix the problem, and debrief/document how we can avoid the problem later (or at least fix it faster if it happens again) 4. Everyone is willing to help. Even outside the operations team, everyone I've ever reached out to at Dispel has been friendly and willing to help. I don't feel intimidated to direct message anyone on slack if I need their help!
Minpunten
1. Very busy and fast-paced. This can be a double-edged sword. I personally like working in a fast paced environment, but some people do not. I don't feel that I am overworked or pushed into things, but there is always a lot to do, and it can feel overwhelming sometimes. 2. Organization and prioritization can be a challenge. Keeping track of everything can be difficult, but senior members have always been willing to help me understand what I need to prioritize.
