Pluspunten

I've been really impressed how the values and culture I heard about in the interview process is actually the culture and work environment. The CEO and executive management team express that they would like employee's priorities to be heath, family, and then work. I admire the talent of my coworkers and have learned a lot from them. Additionally, it's a small enough company where I don't feel like a number and any ideas I have I would feel comfortable expressing up to the CEO. There are numerous perks and employee benefits that are consistent with valuing heath and wellness including the stipend for gym membership, healthy snacks in the kitchen, and yoga in the office (with best instructor in town!). Lunch time at the office is quiet since most people are running errands, going on a run, or at the gym. I've been really impressed by the level of expertise and passion of employees at ReadyTalk. The work environment is very laid back - dress code is casual which I like. Also, all employees have 20 hours a year to volunteer that are paid by the company.

Minpunten

As many have already mentioned, as a flat structure there isn't a lot of opportunity for career growth. That being said, there is now more focus on personal development (including training and certifications) and discussing career goals more frequently which could help with this.

Pluspunten

ReadyTalk seems to be a lifestyle company - as evidenced by the fact that 4/5 senior leaders founded the company 13 years ago and are still around. Health benefits are 100% paid for employees and their families. The company spends a LOT of money on perks - covering race entry fees, tons of groceries, kegs in the kitchen, random swag. It'd be easy to be a lifer - provided you're comfortable just doing the same thing for years and getting just a COLA+ salary adjustment year over year.

Minpunten

See above - this is a lifestyle company. If you have a lot of ambition or want to see your career develop, you will probably have to leave. The Execs have been running the show for years and don't seem to have any succession plan in place. Sure, the CEO is super healthy and fit, but when he said last year that his exit strategy was death.... what does that mean for the rest of his 180 employees? The corporate strategy and product roadmap seem to change with the wind, which can be frustrating and unempowering. Management and HR push a lot of books on strategy and respecting and developing people, but it's not consistently practiced by the most senior executives. "Professional development" is pretty well a joke, and performance evaluations don't exist. There's very little incentive to be a top performer.
