Pros

I've loved my experience at Nelson so far. It's been super refreshing to work with leaders who truly care about their employees, are friendly/approachable and have an exciting vision toward the future. The people on the team in general are so helpful, kind, and supportive. As a relatively new hire (6-months) I had a great onboarding experience, felt super comfortable asking questions and getting to know everyone. Overall, great quality group of people, super meaningful work, exciting projects and a healthy work environment!

Cons

No cons to share as yet! It's busy, definitely a fast paced environment which I like but may not be for everyone
