Pluspunten

Mostly remote company with lots of opportunity to interact with executive leadership at the staff level. Fast growth provides opportunities to design and improve processes. Co-workers are passionate about their jobs and careers. Ability to be very hands on in many different parts of the accounting processes and also close interaction with the finance team. The CFO is very supportive and more than willing to help resolve any business challenges and is also very approachable and eager to mentor and coach those who ask.

Minpunten

Priorities can change quite often and sometimes are forgotten to be communicated. It can be difficult to get responses to questions on any challenges (late meetings, no show meetings, no response to email/chat questions, etc.). Processes in place were extremely manual creating lots of opportunity for error, though there is a heavy focus to automate and update current processes. Witnessed several tense interactions between members of different teams over disagreements that made me uncomfortable but didn't cross any lines. The on-boarding process left a lot to be desired as I was not trained on my primary duties within the first month of employment. The first week or so was focused on assisting with the annual audit. Shortly after, a banking issue demanded the finance leadership's time and attention for another week or two. A lack of process documentation and access to data prevented self training. I know the on-boarding process has been revamped since I was hired and so is likely a smoother experience now.

Pluspunten

- Long term direction & c-suite leadership making right decisions - Great early career experience working with a series of ross-functional and international teams - Lots of exposure to both higher-level business strategy and technical concepts if you're willing to look for it

Minpunten

- Occasional conflict between stuck-in-their-ways middle management & senior leadership that results in mixed signals for most employees. - Mountains of tech debt - Client retention is very high because product is very difficult to off-board. Led to large numbers of unsatisfied customers reaching out to an already struggling client services department. - Product/Industry comes with a very high learning curve. Employees had a fairly high turnover rate. This led to problems with spending tons of time to train employees only for them to leave shortly after they became self-sufficient. Over time, employees felt less incentivized to train incoming employees and compounded the problem. Huge drain on morale. - No formal internal training - Continued selling products to clients that straight up did not work (political contributions search) and punting the problem to the CS team to deal with the fallout. - No QA team - Limited opportunities for career growth within StarCompliance
