An Insider's view of Bestow

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

At Bestow, since day one, our leadership team has always stressed the importance of maintaining a high-quality work-life balance. It has allowed me to be fully present in all things, both professionally and personally. With a positive balance in both places, my overall productivity has improved, all while pursuing my passions.

Samantha

Technical Program Manager

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

We have an open collaboration approach as we take advantage of available channels of communication (not afraid of over-communicating) and provide enough empowerment to each team to drive value. We have substantial autonomy to make decisions and move fast!

Jorge

Head of Strategic Finance

What makes someone successful on your team?

What makes someone successful on our team is the willingness to learn and openness to be a part of something special. Being successful requires clear and open communication, providing support, access to great resources, and diversity. I am so fortunate to be able to rely on my team for all my needs within the company.

Chastity

Customer Services Specialist

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

One of the best ways to remain accessible is to proactively reach out and connect with others, both virtually and in person. In the office, I like to visit with people over lunch, and virtually, I use the Donut app via Slack to randomly connect with one new person in the company each week.

Jonathan

President

How does the company support your career growth?

Bestow supports my career growth with free access to LinkedIn courses and encouraging mentorship within my department. My leadership team consistently supports my interests and career path.
