I love coming to work, and I have never had that privilege before.
"Work hard, play hard" is something very much believed at GoCo.
Unlimited vacation. They are very understanding about things that come up at the last minute, and they are advocates for enjoying life as much as possible.
Everyone here wants what is best for everyone -- there's not a single person that has a "me first" mentality, which is really refreshing from previous companies I've worked at.
They really wanted to get to know me, from both a professional standpoint, as well as who I was, to make sure I could mesh with the overall environment of GoCo.
The unlimited vacation -- it's not just about taking time whenever you want, though. It's really about GoCo understanding that life happens, and they want to accommodate in the best way they can.
We all genuinely get along. We're all here to support each other and actively ensure that no one is left overwhelmed. Everyone likes to reach out to help each other so that GoCo can prosper.
That there were two screening calls in which I was able to talk to the founders before it was decided that I would come in for an in person interview. It gave both sides a chance to feel comfortable.
They are legitimately interested in helping the team grow for both the business and also as individuals. It's not just about meeting goals for profits, but also about making sure people are happy with what they do and how they do it.
They want feedback as much as possible and you are able to see immediately what gets put into production pipelines as a result of that feedback. GoCo is a living, breathing product and they genuinely want the best platform possible for customers.
We are committed to improving our processes in a way that impacts the other teams in the office, as well as the customer. It's a "better for everyone" mindset that aims to improve the experience for both those working at the company and the people that we serve.
It's a relaxed, open environment that encourages you to think, and play, outside of the box. If work has you a little stressed, you can relax and not feel like you have to run away to do so. It's easy to get refocused because it's a positive, healthy environment.
