My current one. The company treats people like...well people. -transparent communication -soliciting feedback often -an ethos of "take care of yourself, your family, then the company", manifesting in flexible WFH situations -lots of investment in personal development / growth -an emphasis on bridging gaps / empathizing / assuming positive intent in working with others

At pretty much every other company I've ever worked at, I've always felt that if I inconvenienced the company at all, it basically wasn't going to happen unless I brought a strong business case. Company always came first. Conversely here, I feel like it's a balance. If I want to do X, my manager / others will make an effort to find a business need that matches that. There's a very generous (paid) maternity leave policy.

When you like your manager and you feel like your interests are aligned with the company's, and you feel like it's a little more relational, that's when I do my best work. I've been looking for this for a long time, and I'm thrilled to be here.

Your company sounds like somewhere I'd like to work. If you are comfortable with it, could you email me the name? My email address is in my profile.
