Great place to work in chicago

no complaints about this job in chicago

Been here for just over a year now, and things are moving, fast. It feels like every few months the business evolves. Coming from an older, slower, industry it was a bit of a culture shock for me, but I feel that I've adjusted. Its a smaller, lean group where the expectations are to execute the project, which often means stepping outside of my defined role to get something done. I really like that there is a lot of pressure on achieving personal and business goals, so I am not supporting consistent under-performers. In my old job it felt like I was doing my whole team's workload while they chatted. Management here appear to all first timers which again was different compared to my old career, but they listen, and from what i've seen so far actually do something about items asked. Things also got a lot better when a formal HR department was added. Overall its a fast paced, challenging, figure it out, team focused type of culture. Each month two employees are given a bonus for above and beyond work. I have yet to win it.

As I mentioned above the management team are all first time managers, but they do listen and make changes where possible. Specifically, I'd like a more flexible work from home policy, and better 401k match. Also, I can often be a perfectionist and sometimes it feels that I don't have enough time to do the level of work I expect out of myself. They have an internal mantra of Progress is better than Perfection.
