I frequently express how much I love my job. It's not perfect, but it has way more ups than downs.
I have literally declined more than one competing job offer that would have more than doubled my salary because the quality of life tradeoff was not worth it to me.
Freedom, autonomy, responsibility, accountability, education, growth?
The people in my department are bright and hilarious
Unlimited PTO (though I believe that's only for salaried employees)
Open lines of communication in all directions and at all levels
The variety of projects and tasks I get to work on
Unlimited PTO and so much schedule flexibility that I basically never have to use it!
Openness and accessibility. Always teaching and sharing knowledge. Open to the notion that others have great ideas too.
The incredible flexibility I get and the creative freedom. Plus I get to learn about tons of really cool new companies.
It was very conversational. Far from the most brutal screening I have ever been through. I'd say it was about average, as interviews go.
They are very accessible. I have had multiple one-on-one conversations with many of them. I know that I can reach out at any time and be well received.
Getting to create. I love the nature of my specific job. So much so that I would refuse a promotion if it meant significantly changing my job duties.
I have not come across any negative nellies at CIENCE. Everyone seems to actively seek out the bright side and the silver lining in every situation. It's a wonderful work environment.
The team I work with is very talented, mutually supportive, and a lot of fun. We don't take life or work too seriously, yet we always get the job done with very high quality.
There is a deep sense of camaraderie. It's more than just a work relationship. I have stayed as a guest in multiple coworkers' homes and have met coworkers out socially. We've even traveled (in some cases >100 miles) to meet.
I have long admired how forthcoming they are with information. They also seem to genuinely care about employees. After recent monsoons in the Philippines and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they took that to a whole other level. They allocated company resources for the personal betterment of employees
Flexibility. My role is relatively unique, even within the company in that I notably get to work remotely but also generally set my own work hours. So long as the work gets done, with quality and on deadline, no one micromanages how or when I do it.
