Personal & professional growth at an astonishing rate; idyllic work environment
Pros
I've been at Wonder for ~3.5 years now, and have had the opportunity to work my way from an entry-level sales position, to an operations & strategy leader within the company. Over that time I've had the true privilege of working with a team that feels much more like family than co-workers. Whether we're talking about our quarterly, week-long, company off-sites (team retreats!), the hyper-collaborative work environment, or our relentless culture of supporting + bringing out THE BEST in each person, the bottom-line is that I pinch myself each morning that I get to work on SUCH an amazing product, with amazing people, on an amazing mission. When I describe facets of Wonder to my non-work friends, they all say the same thing: "Wow, that sounds like the type of idyllic, modern work environment people talk about; I didn't know places like that actually existed!" They do - it's called Wonder :)
Cons
Like many companies, we went through a bit of a transitional phase when the COVID-19 pandemic descended, and with that had to make some difficult personnel decisions across both our HQ and Analyst communities. While downsizing was truly difficult, it led us to a new-found place of innovation & lean-ness that ultimately led us to the success we're seeing now, so while it was difficult, I wouldn't exactly call it a 'con' - more of a growing pain.
