Pluspunten
There are many pros about working at High Rise. This fast-growing organization has definite potential for greatness. Almost everyone works remotely and there is a truly diverse staff from all over the world. Executive leadership is very involved and is accessible when it comes to escalation of lending decisions. Most everyone is helpful and nice and bonus, you don't have to dress up for zoom calls. Having spoken with sales professionals in the same field, their view is that the company is perceived as classy, conscientious, and conservative (not and easy reputation to attain in this field). Google ratings are also high. Processes involve many steps and can be nuanced, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually fairly simple and makes sense. Sales is provided with plenty of tools and support for success and growth. Interacting with PI law firms is fun and their clients often have interesting stories. It keeps every day new and fresh. Autonomy and being viewed as a valuable contributer are things must be earned at High Rise. Regardless of the role you're hired for, these will not based on the merit of employment history. I am enjoying being a part of growing this organization and hope to expand the scope of my leadership contribution in the future.
Minpunten
As with any growning organization, there are small hurdles and challenges as many things are evolving. Executive leadership is investing in streamlining workflow which demonstrates foresight and bodes well. I am part of a newer team working remotely. It can feel a bit isolated/siloed, so it's on each individual to reach out to other teams, build relationships internally, and create a work tribe, but that has not proven to be too difficult. Processes for hiring and other HR functionalities can be a bit tangled, but typically work out for the best. Interdepartmental communication could be better too, but again, that goes with the territory, and is common even in seasoned organizations. Ultimately I have very much enjoyed my experience at High Rise so far and really hope to earn enough respect through my contributions to continue my growth at the company.
