Ventajas
Rafter is a mission driven company and it shows in the passion of the team. It feels good to be part of a company that is trying to make an positive impact in the success of our student population. The CEO is extremely transparent and leads with a healthy pacesetting attitude. (Work hard, but balance that with life we all have outside of work). Throughout the organization, there is virtually no politics and team members treat each other with respect.
Desventajas
Education is a tough industry and market adoption doesn't happen as fast as I'd like. Like all startups, the reality is, you wear a lot of hats and need to be independently motivated. Multi-tasking is always a challenge, and you have to be willing to juggle priorities. Upward mobility (career-wise) can be tough in a small organization.
