Pros

People genuinely care, are kind, hard-working, incredibly smart. We use our product in a unique way. Stewart and the exec team provide great leadership, especially through this trying time of a global pandemic. The company takes care of their employees, allowing for unlimited emergency time off and other flexibility. Benefits in general are excellent, family forming, work from home office stipend, professional development, etc. The response to the Black Lives Matter movement has been stellar, and I'm very proud of the Last Mile program and to work with Next Chapter employees.

Cons

There is so much going on, it's hard to feel like there is clear direction on prioritization across teams when conflicts arise.
