What differentiates this team from others I have worked with in the past is that we do not have 'problem' people. There is literally no net-negative team member.
The team is outcome oriented and the outcomes targeted are not just things like an exit or revenue growth but a good experience alongside revenue growth and a great exit!
The almost unanimous buy-in to the culture. I don't know of anyone who is here "despite" the culture. Rather, everyone is here because of the culture and values it highly.
The equity/option grants are by far the best part. I joined early and the growth in the value of my option grant is significant. I can tell others feel this way as well and it creates alignment across the team.
At a high level, what makes me happiest at work is the people and the growth. The people are great and I can learn from them. The growth is not just at the top line, but i have real opportunities for professional growth as well.
