Pros

Culture is absolutely amazing! There is clearly a 'start-up' vibe that seems to resonate in all the employees. It's a tightly-knit group that has a 'work hard/play harder' attitude. I can honestly say that it's a huge breath of fresh air to work with such a great group.

Cons

None that have encountered, would be surprised if anything arises.

Pros

-Cotopaxi makes products that I like, they're well designed and functional and I enjoy wearing them -I identify with the brand, i love the company's sense of adventure -I feel proud to work for a B corp, I'm inspired to do good -Excellent perks, like in the wild time, discount ski passes, Academia, company lunches, employee discounts, etc. -Great people to work with, co workers are talented, sharp, and funny -Really beautiful space to work in

Cons

-I don't like the hot seat policy. A man needs a desk to call his own. -I feel like I've attended some inefficient meetings in which it wasn't immediately clear what the objective of the meeting was. This may be specific to my department, and a condition of being a new hire.
