Pros

If I would choose one word, I would say motivating for Help Scout. ICs are collaborative and open to communication. Leadership encourages people to have their opinion and advocate for them. Couple of months after I joined, I had a chance to work with CEO directly. One thing took my attention during our collaboration is when people has counter-arguments to his opinion/idea he never immeadiately rejects instead he listens and then asks from people to convince him. And there were times we convinced him because he encourages us to do so! I think three co-founders still working at Help Scout helps a lot to maintain this open culture. If you are a person who like to challenge status quo, create opportunities for yourself and chase after and prioritise independent, proactive work style then top to bottom defined process; Help Scout is a great place to work.

Cons

In terms of cons I should acknowledge there are moving pieces around in terms of priorities or organisational structure. Considering fast-pace environment, customer-first culture and relatively small size of the organisations, I believe these actions are expected to respond internal and external requirements timely.

Help Scout is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team across many aspects of identity. We care about this because it's the right thing to do, and it's an added bonus that research shows that working with diverse teams makes us all smarter and leads to more successful businesses.
