Ventajas
Domum, a tech start-up, has that innovative and go-getting Silicon Valley feel. I enjoyed the working space, as well as the people I worked with. The co-founders/bosses (herein “management”) are intelligent, motivated people, and therefore, there is potential for learning and growth. It is a collaborative environment, in which ideas are heard out and discussed openly. The impression I got while working there was that management not only wants the company to grow, they want to build a team that can grow with them. As an employee, I also felt well taken care of. I was happy with my salary, and whenever I needed anything (i.e. working materials, questions answered, systems explained), they were quick to deliver. A few months into my time at Domum, I approached management to discuss a health issue I was having. They were incredibly supportive, and heard me out with compassion and understanding. They worked with me to find a solution to ensure that I was able to balance this issue with work, which I really appreciated.
Desventajas
Although management is understanding and reasonable, they expect results. They are passionate about the project, and imbue what they do with a high standard, which they hold their employees to. So, although they will give you chances and tools to improve, they don't hold back and will let you know when they think you are underperforming.
