JOSHUA SMITH

Director of Marketing

The cross-functionality aspect of my daily routine is something I cherish. Having exposure to so many different areas of the business that I would not have been exposed to in my former life. It is also amazing being part of a team that is responsible for making sure that our company is as successful as it will possibly be.

ANKITA DESAI

Director, Product Manager

The technology always gets me excited to come to work, it is still new and challenging. Being that the company is still quite young, it provides me the freedom to be exposed to various projects and be surrounded by people with a very diverse set of skills and backgrounds.

ERIN BIRD

Senior HR Business Partner

I am involved in a little bit of everything and it is a huge learning experience in itself. The excitement of wanting to help people, which is the whole focus of company, but also being able to use my skills in different departmental areas give me an all-encompassing opportunity to really be successful and grow.

Our daily job is very dynamic, whereas at a larger company, it can be very specific. I like that you have the exposure to different roles within the department. Also, you get to know the people you work with and are able to create a better sense of community.
